This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for DLA Weapons Support Richmond - FMBC. The solicitation number is SPE4A526R0108, and the document identification number is 7010457352.

The acquisition seeks to procure a Flyball and Head Go item (NSN 291501051375, P/N 570386-1) in a quantity of 41 units under a firm fixed-price contract type with no options included. The contracting activity notes that the estimated value is redacted but indicates the contract falls within the Competition Advocate approval threshold of over $900,000 but not exceeding $20,000,000. The sole source selected is ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING INC. (CAGE 45934), justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority based on AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (part required engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality). A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.gov on December 3, 2025, with no responses received. The market survey conducted via the sources sought posting resulted in no vendor responses indicating intent to provide the item. The justification was approved by the Competition Advocate on January 12, 2026, and the Contracting Officer on January 8, 2026. Actions planned to overcome future competition barriers include posting a synopsis to beta SAM and preparing a solicitation with Procurement Notes M06 and L04, allowing sources to submit source approval packages for DLA Aviation.
