This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation. The procurement is for 9 Bearing Hose Reels, with a National Stock Number (NSN) of 3110-01-302-9991, utilizing FAR Part 13.5 procedures. The acquisition is being made directly from the manufacturer Industrial Technics (CAGE 06144), with the justification based on AMC 3 (acquiring directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval by the design control activity).

A market survey was conducted, but additional manufacturing sources could not be identified. The technical certification indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The document is approved at the Contracting Officer level for a value not exceeding $750,000, with Stephen Lunsford from IST Lead signing as the Contracting Officer on 10/28/2024. The solicitation will be posted to allow other manufacturers to submit source approval packages, with the intent of overcoming potential barriers to competition in future acquisitions.
