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

The acquisition concerns 38 self-aligning roller bearings (NSN 3110-01-359-8935) with an estimated value that is redacted. The Defense Logistics Agency is acquiring these supplies from McGill MFG (CAGE 92563) as the sole source. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority, specifically invoking AMSC B (must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing) and AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer). A market survey was conducted on an unspecified date, which determined that additional manufacturing sources could not be identified; the memorandum documenting this market research is attached but not shown in this document. A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted to Contract Opportunities on 3/18/25 with no responses received. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 9/2/2025, and the anticipated cost to the Government is fair and reasonable. The item has been determined to be commercial and will be purchased under commercial procedures with an AMSC code of "B." The Competition Advocate and a Contracting Officer certified the justification on 8/28/2025, with approval authority delegated to a Competition Advocate for acquisitions over $750,000 but not exceeding $15 million.
