This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The procurement is for 589 units of a BEARING, PLAIN, SELF-ALIGNING component (NSN 3120-011902764) with a specific part requiring engineering source approval to maintain quality. The agency conducted a sources sought notice on 9/18/2024 and received no responses, indicating limited market interest.

The acquisition is being pursued under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13.5, with AMC 1 and AMSC C justifications indicating this is suitable for competitive acquisition and requires specific engineering source approval. The item has been determined to be commercial, but will be purchased with commercial procedures using an AMSC Code of "C" due to critical quality control requirements. The document is approved for acquisitions not exceeding $750,000 and will be processed through the contracting officer, with dealers of manufacturers to be solicited during the procurement process.
