This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation. The procurement is for 248 roller cylindrical bearings (NSN 3110-01-312-9420) from Schaeffler Aerospace Canada and McGill Manufacturing Co., Inc. The acquisition is being pursued under FAR Part 13.5, with a market survey conducted that could not identify additional manufacturing sources. BHPE responded to a Sources Sought notice and provided instructions on submitting a SAR package to the vendor. The total estimated contract value is redacted, but requires approval from the Head of Contracting Activity due to being over $15 million and under $100 million. The justification cites limited technical certification data availability as the primary reason for restricting competition, with planned actions to overcome barriers including posting the solicitation to allow other manufacturers to submit source approval packages.
