This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition procurement, filed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Richmond - FMBC. The document justifies a limited competition acquisition for fuel pressure valves (NSN 2915013968540 and P/N 800881-1) in the quantity of 71 units with an estimated acquisition value below $900,000.

The acquisition is structured as a firm fixed-price contract with no options. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or limited number of sources. The sole identified source is ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing (CAGE 45934), selected under AMSC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval by design control activity). A sources sought notice and RFI were posted to Contract Opportunities on 12/15/2025; one response from CAGE 08M22 was received but the vendor was removed from consideration for quoting an unapproved manufacturing source. A market survey was conducted with no vendors responding to provide the item, and the subject line was synopsized. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 1/8/2026. The justification notes that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and states that if any response is received from sources sought after the deadline, it will be considered for future buys. The Contracting Officer Mary B. Williams signed the justification on 1/28/26, serving as approval authority for acquisitions not exceeding $900,000.
