This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for Sole Source and Limited Competition acquisition submitted by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) under Contracting Activity FME, Solicitation Number SPE4A626RX972.

The acquisition covers a transducer in position (NSN 1880-01600812 9, PN 101.F8415-1) with a quantity range of 49 to 196 units. The procurement is structured as an Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-year base period and no options. DLA has justified this limited competition award to ES Beta Inc. (CAGE 25413) based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that the required supplies are available only from a single source. The justification specifically identifies AMSC D (data needed to acquire the part is not economically available) and AMSC D (same rationale repeated) as the primary limiting factors, along with a note that no J&As exist for previous buys on this NSN, indicating initial procurement action.

Competition enhancement efforts included posting a Sources Sought notice on Contract Opportunities on September 29, 2026, which resulted in interest from Transaero Inc. (CAGE 27541). A market survey was conducted to increase competition and solicit other interested vendors. The Contracting Officer (Francis Rettzo) certified the justification as accurate and complete on June 5, 2026, with approval authority at the Contracting Officer level given the estimated value is $10 million or below. The acquisition synopsis is scheduled for June 8, 2026, with solicitation copies available to interested firms.
