SPE4A624R0160_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for a Cable Assembly Switch. The acquisition is for 2140 units of a specific NSN (6150-01-475-8835), with a market survey conducted indicating Mile Marker Industries as the sole approved source. The document notes that technical certification is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition.

The acquisition is being processed under FAR Part 15, with a sources sought notice posted on 02/23/2024 that received no responses. The contract will not include an option, and the total estimated dollar value is redacted. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limited competition, specifically noting that the item can only be acquired directly from the manufacturer (AMC 3) and that the data needed to purchase the part is not economically available (AMSC D). The document requires approval from the Head of Contracting Activity due to the acquisition value being over $15 million but under $100 million.
