About this file

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form (AVN Form S53) submitted by DLA Weapons Support-Richmond for a sole source and limited competition acquisition.

The acquisition covers a Cable Assembly (NSN 6150-01-530-2933) with a quantity of 27 units (EAD). The contract will be structured as an Indefinite Delivery Contract with a 3-year base period and no options. The estimated total dollar value is redacted in the document. The contracting activity is DLA-FAKB, and the solicitation number is SPE4A626R0048. The acquisition falls under FAR Part 15. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition from only one or limited number of sources. The identified sources of supply are Cooper Crouse-Hinds LLC (CAGE 18192) and AGSA LLC (CAGE 58080). The justification is based on two AMSC codes: AMC 2 (Suitable for competitive acquisition for the first time) and AMSC C (This part required engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part).

A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted to Contract Opportunities on 10/17/2025, which resulted in no responses. The contracting officer determined that the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable through establishment of an Indefinite Quantity Contract with an informal cost breakdown for price reasonableness analysis. A market survey was conducted identifying two approved sources, though neither indicated interest in the acquisition. The market situation does not appear to have changed since the previous acquisition. The requirement will be synopsized on or about 12/25/2025. To overcome competition barriers in future acquisitions, the requirement will be posted to DIBBS with alternate offers (NOTE M06/L04) to allow potential sources to submit source approval requests. The contracting officer, Cassandra Cooper, signed and certified the justification on 10/16/2025, and the document does not exceed the $900,000 threshold requiring higher-level approvals.
