This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation's Bearing Division. The procurement is for 752 bearing sleeves (NSN 3120-01-707-1386) from Duramax Marine, with a total estimated value that is redacted. The acquisition is being pursued under FAR Part 13.5, with a sources sought notice posted on 10/2/2024, to which BHPE responded indicating interest.

The justification cites AMC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC Q (government lacks adequate data or rights to data, and procurement is not economical) as the basis for the sole source approach. A market survey was conducted, but additional manufacturing sources could not be identified. The procurement is for a new action, and the document indicates that technical certification is not required since the acquisition is below $15 million. The contracting officer, Stephen Lunsford, signed the document on 10/9/2024, approving the sole source procurement.
