This is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (Form S53) from DLA Aviation for the sole source procurement of Bearing Roller Aircraft parts (NSN: 3110-01-051-1642) with a quantity of EAD/MAX 102. The procurement is structured as an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a 5-year base period, with no options included.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the authority for limited competition, with AMC 1 and AMSC B codes indicating this is suitable for competitive acquisition for the second time but must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing. A Sources Sought notice was posted on Contract Opportunities on 11/1/2024, receiving one response from BHPE LLC (CAGE: 9SWS7). The acquisition will be synopsized on 11/5/2024. The Contracting Officer has approved this justification (signed by Herbert Davis on 11/5/2024) as the estimated value is under $750,000. The document notes that technical data is not available to permit full and open competition, and any responses received after the Sources Sought deadline will be considered for future buys.
