About this file

This document is a justification for other than full and open competition on a federal contract. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation seeks to acquire 408 screw machines identified by National Stock Number 5305-01-693-8311 from Fairbanks Morse, LLC. The estimated total value of the two-year contract is $879,152.40 with options, and $1,333,886.40 as the maximum potential value. Authority to restrict competition comes from 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the screw machines are only available from Fairbanks Morse as the sole source. Market research identified one other potential source, Hilo Enterprises, but technical data is unavailable to permit full and open competition. The justification provides supporting rationale for the sole source acquisition according to Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements.
