This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition, form AVN S53, prepared by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) for the Federal Medical and Dental Supply (FMDS) contracting activity.

The acquisition concerns a single-leg chain assembly (NSN 4010-01-387-5427) with an estimated quantity of 364 units EAD/MAX and a five-year base period contract. The justification documents that a sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted to Contract Opportunities on 4/28/2026, resulting in only one response received. Two potential sources were identified with interest in the acquisition: OSHKOSH DEFENSE LLC (CAGE 75Q65) and W. H. SMITH HARDWARE COMPANY, THE (CAGE 8W529); however, only CORMAX RIGGING SUPPLY LLC (CAGE 8DX08) expressed interest in writing. The acquisition is restricted to the only source(s) of supply known to have the capability to furnish the required supplies. The authority cited for limiting competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The justification indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, the item is a source-controlled part (AMSC B) requiring acquisition from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing, and no J&As are required for previous buys on this NSN. The anticipated cost to the Government is determined to be fair and reasonable based on previous history. The contracting officer, Cassandra Blagmon, certified the justification as accurate and complete on 5/5/2026.
