This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53) filed by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) for procurement of Bearing, Roller Cyli components under Solicitation Number SPE4A626RX798.

The acquisition seeks to procure bearing roller cylinders (NSN 3110-01194887 and PN 699039) in quantities ranging from 37 to 148 units under an indefinite quantity contract with a 5-year base period. The contracting officer Francis Rettzo determined the acquisition will be restricted to MPB Corp. (CAGE 78118) as the sole source, citing 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority. The justification invokes AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC B (must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing) as the rationale for sole-source procurement. A Sources Sought notice was posted to Contract Opportunities on April 20, 2026, with no responses received, and a market survey was conducted noting that sources sought posted on April 20, 2026 yielded no responsive interest. The document indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and there are no prior J&As on file for this NSN. The contracting officer approved the justification on April 22, 2026, as the estimated value is $10 million or below.
