This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, NOV 2024) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 13.5.

The Defense Logistics Agency seeks to procure 7 bearing half sleeves (NSN/PN 3120-01-676-9020) from Duramax Marine (CAGE 1PNP7) on a sole source basis without competitive bidding. The acquisition was posted as a sources sought notice/Request for Information (RFI) on Contract Opportunities on 2/20/25, which resulted in no responses received. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition, specifically referencing AMSC Code "D" (data needed to acquire the part is not economically available) and AMSC Code "Z" (commercial/no-developmental/off-the-shelf item). The document notes the item will be purchased under commercial procedures with an AMSC code of "D" rather than "Z" due to quality control concerns associated with the critical item. A market survey was conducted to identify potential manufacturing sources, but no additional sources could be identified. The document confirms that fair and reasonable pricing will be ensured through pricing analysis using available information and approved pricing techniques. The justification has been approved by the Competition Advocate (certified for over $750,000 but not exceeding $15 million) and is signed by the Contracting Officer Stephen Lunsford (IST Chief) and Competition Advocate Yolanda Calvin Maupin, dated 3/9/2025 and 3/11/25 respectively.
