About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (AVN Form S53) for a sole source acquisition submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Richmond contracting activity under FAR Part 12.
The acquisition covers 10 electrical load banks (NSN 6150-01-629-9715) on a firm fixed-price basis with a five-year base contract term and no options. The solicitation number is SPE4A6-26-R-0245, and document identification number is 10002345. The sole source is Sanitz Enterprises, Inc. (CAGE 57AD8). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority for restricting competition to one source, based on AMSC code AMC3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC code AMSCQ (Government lacks adequate data or rights to data, and it is not economical to procure). A sources sought notice was posted on June 1, 2026, resulting in no response. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about June 5, 2026, and any firm requesting a solicitation copy will receive one. The contracting officer determined that the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable based on firm fixed pricing with informal cost and price data requested and market research conducted. A market survey was not conducted because the technical package is not available. The justification notes that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. Actions to overcome barriers to competition in subsequent acquisitions include publishing a Sources Sought notice, synopsizing the acquisition, and including additional contract line item numbers (L04 and M06) in the solicitation. The Contracting Officer (Brenda G. Spell) approved this justification on June 5, 2026, for an acquisition valued at $10 million or below.
