This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. The procurement is for 105 cylindrical roller bearings with NSN 3110-00-837-8064, to be acquired from RBC Bearings Incorporated. The acquisition is being pursued under FAR Part 13.5 as a sole source action, with the rationale that a sources sought notice posted on 11/13/2024 resulted in no responses received. The market survey determined additional manufacturing sources could not be identified, and the item has been deemed commercial but will be purchased with a specific AMSC code due to quality control considerations associated with the critical item.

The document indicates the contract will not include an option, and the acquisition is restricted to the only known source of supply capable of furnishing the required supplies. The contracting officer (KEE-SHA D. EPPS-ESKRIDGE) has certified the justification as accurate and complete, with approval levels set for acquisitions not exceeding $750,000. The DLA Counsel has reviewed the form and concluded it creates a legally sufficient justification for restricting competition pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for sole source tactical acquisitions for NSNs in the federal supply system below $15 million.
