This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53). The document justifies a limited competition procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support in Richmond for bearing sleeves (NSN/PN: 3120-01371273, PN: 4080903) in quantities ranging from 246 to 994 units. The estimated acquisition value is redacted, though the contract is structured as a 5-year Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) without options.

The sole source justification is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for subsequent time) and AMSC B (items that must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing). A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted to Contract Opportunities on 11/18/2025, resulting in no responses. The Government conducted a market survey in accordance with FAR 10 to increase competition and solicit firms expressing interest. The contractor identified is Dupont Specialty Products USA, LLC (CAGE 55231). Supporting justifications indicate that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and that no Joint Agreements (JA&As) exist for previous buys on this NSN. The estimated cost is determined to be fair and reasonable. The Contracting Officer approved the justification on 12/01/2025, with approval authority not exceeding $900,000.
