This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, May 2026) from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support in Richmond for a sole source acquisition.

The acquisition covers 23 units of a Swivel, Joint, Hydraulic component (NSN 1650015306/86/5-65184-19) from The Boeing Company (CAGE 82918) under a 1-year firm fixed price contract. The contracting activity is listed as FMC with solicitation number SPE4A526R0263S/SPE4A526R0292. The estimated value and maximum dollar value are redacted. This is a new action that will not include options. The sole source justification is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing availability from only one source. The authority codes AMC 3 (acquire for second or subsequent time directly from manufacturer) and AMSC C (required engineering source approval for quality maintenance) are selected.

Justification efforts included posting a sources sought notice and RFI on Contract Opportunities on 7/13/2026, which resulted in no responses. A market survey was conducted including review of historical contracts, AMPL approval sources, sources sought listings, and synopsis posting. The anticipated cost is deemed fair and reasonable through prior pricing paid negotiations. The justification notes that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The synopsis will be posted to allow interested manufacturers to submit Source Approval Request (SAR) packages. The Contracting Officer Annette Pruett certified the justification on 7/20/2026 under FAR 6.303-2(b)(12), with approval authority at the $10 million or below level.
