This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) form for a sole source procurement by DLA Aviation. The acquisition is for 616 cylindrical roller bearings (NSN 3110-01-15-1828) from Rexnord Industries and SKF Industries Inc., with the justification based on limited manufacturing sources specified on source control drawings. A sources sought notice was posted on 7/09/2024, but vendors did not reply to the notice posted to SAM on 10/23/2024. The contract will not include an option, and the total estimated value is redacted. The procurement is being pursued under FAR Part 13.5, with AMC 1 and AMSC B justification codes indicating the item is suitable for competitive acquisition for the second time and must be acquired from a specific manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing.

The document indicates that technical certification is not required since the acquisition is below $15 million. The contracting officer, Stephen Lunsford (1ST Chief), signed the document on 11/12/2024, affirming the accuracy and completeness of the justification. The acquisition is being restricted to the only known sources of supply capable of furnishing the required bearings, with market research efforts determining that additional manufacturing sources could not be identified. The DLA Counsel Aviation has reviewed the form and concluded it provides a legally sufficient justification for restricting competition pursuant to the specified federal acquisition regulations.
