SPE4A626Q0475_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, June 2026) for a sole source and limited competition federal contract acquisition.

The contracting agency is DLA Weapons Support Richmond, procuring 60 units of DAMPER.SHIMMY (NSN/PN: 1620013199691) under solicitation number SPE4A626Q0475 using FAR Part 13.5 authority. The acquisition is a new action with a firm fixed price contract structure and no options included. The estimated total value and maximum dollar value have been redacted. The contractor sources are limited to two entities with approved capabilities: ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING INC (CAGE 45934) and GOODRICH CORPORATION (CAGE 6K4C8). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for sole source acquisition, specifically invoking AMSC 3 (direct procurement from manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (engineering source approval required to maintain part quality). A mass sources sought notice including the NSN was posted to Contract Opportunities in August 2026. The justification determines anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable, supported by certified cost or pricing data when required. Technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and the OEM is unwilling to sell data rights to the Government, prohibiting reverse engineering. The material is controlled by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) with FED ONLY distribution restrictions. Contracting Officer Mary B Williams signed the justification on 8/25/2026, approving procurement under Special Emergency Procurement Authority.
