This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) submitted by DLA Weapons Support-Richmond for the Bearings Division-FMEC contracting activity.

The acquisition concerns camera follower needles (NSN 3110-01-235-0389) in a quantity of 2,240 units with an estimated value that is redacted. The contract is an IDC with a 5-year base period and will not include options. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority for limited competition, specifically using AMSC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (required engineering source approval by design control activity to maintain part quality). A Request for Information was posted on Contract Opportunities on 03/24/2026 with no responses received. The two approved sources identified are McGill Manufacturing Company Inc. (CAGE 92653) and Accurate Bushing (CAGE 07484). The justification indicates the material has been determined COTS, but the ESA will not change the AMSC to a "Z" because of quality controls associated with the NSN(s), and the item will be purchased under commercial procedures with AMSC code "C" under FAR 13.5. The contracting officer, Priscilla Lee, approved the justification on 04/24/2026 for an amount of $10 million or below.
