This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) form for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The procurement is for 940 self-aligning plain bearings with NSN 3120-016004614, to be acquired from New Hampshire Ball Bearings Inc. (SKF USA Inc.). The acquisition is being pursued under FAR Part 13.5 with a sources sought notice posted on 11/23/2024, which received no responses.

The justification indicates the item must be acquired from a specific manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing (AMSC B), and the item has been determined to be commercial. The contracting officer, Stephen Lunsford, certified the justification as accurate and complete for a contract not exceeding $750,000. The document outlines efforts to ensure competitive opportunities by synopsizing the acquisition and planning to solicit dealers of the manufacturers, with procurement notices to be included in the solicitation to allow other manufacturers to submit source approval packages.
