This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form submitted by DLA Aviation for the sole source procurement of self-locking nuts (NSN 5310-013645674, Part# RMLH2577-080) through an Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-year base period. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13.5 with statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for limited competition.

A Sources Sought notice was posted on Contract Opportunities on 09/04/24, generating interest from Don Industrial Group LLC (CAGE 745V4) and BHPE LLC (CAGE 9SWS7). The justification cites AMC 3 (acquire from manufacturer for second/subsequent time) and AMSC R (government owns data but not economical to purchase from another source) as rationales. SPS Technologies LLC (CAGE 56878) is identified as the manufacturer. The contract value is redacted but requires only Contracting Officer approval (indicating value under $750,000). A market survey was conducted, and the acquisition specialist anticipates fair and reasonable pricing based on previous history.
