About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source procurement by DLA Aviation. The acquisition is for 423 Plain Spherical Bearings (NSN 3120-01-209-3040, Part Number SB5073-103) from two potential sources: New Hampshire Ball Bearings, Inc. and Sargent Aerospace & Defense, LLC. The procurement is being conducted under a Firm Fixed Price contract using FAR Part 13.5 procedures, with the statutory authority being 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for acquisition from a limited number of sources.

The justification indicates that a sources sought notice was posted on 1/21/2025 with no responses received. The acquisition is based on AMC Code 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMC Code B (must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing). DLA Aviation plans to post a combined synopsis on SAM.gov and prepare a solicitation with Procurement Notes M06/L04 to allow other manufacturers to submit source approval packages. The contracting officer, Christy L. Oakley, has certified the justification, which is approved at the contracting officer level since the estimated value does not exceed $750,000.
