This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53, March 2026).

The DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) is acquiring cable assemblies (NSN 6150-01-467-0395) in a quantity of 16/63 units under solicitation number SPF4A626RX682. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13.5 authority and is a new action with a 5-year base term with no options. The sole source for this acquisition is BREEZE-EASTERN LLC (CAGE 08484), selected under AMSC 3 authority (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC Z authority (commercial/non-developmental/off-the-shelf item). The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or a limited number of sources. A sources sought notice or Request for Information was posted to Contract Opportunities on 3/26/2026, and the requisition will be synopsized on or about 4/2/2026 with any requesting firm receiving a copy. Technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition; current data reflects minimum Government needs. The anticipated cost to the Government is considered fair and reasonable, with proposals to be evaluated under FAR Part 15 procedures if multiple offers are received. The Contracting Officer (Heidi Lacosse/KO) approved the justification on 3/31/2026 for actions not exceeding $10 million.
