SPE4A625Q1733_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation for the acquisition of bearing roller tape supplies/services. The document identifies the procurement activity as DLA Aviation - FMEA under solicitation number SPE4A62SQ1733, with document identification number 7011762703. The acquisition seeks 182 units of bearing roller tape (NSN/PN: 3110-0111-797335) under FAR Part 13.5 procedures.

The justification indicates this is a new action for sole source and limited competition procurement based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or limited number of sources. The government conducted a sources sought notice/Request for Information (RFI) posted to Contract Opportunities on August 20, 2025, which resulted in no responses. The authorized use codes selected are AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for second or subsequent time) and AMSC B (must be acquired from manufacturing source(s) specified on source control drawing). Two identified sources are KAYDON (CAGE 32828) and TIMKEN CO. (CAGE 60038). A market survey was conducted determining additional manufacturing sources could not be identified, and the item has been determined commercial with AMSC code "B" for procurement under commercial procedures. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about August 21, 2025, with a restriction on alternate offers for source-controlled items included in the solicitation. The Competition Advocate and Contracting Officer have approved the justification, with approval authority at the Competition Advocate level for estimated value between $750,000 and $15,000,000.
