SPE4A626RX980_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) for Sole Source and Limited Competition, submitted by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) for an Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-year base period. The acquisition pertains to a Transmitter, Liquid (NSN 6680-011147623, PN-ACT-10408) with a quantity range of 140-565 units. The solicitation number is SPE4A626RX980, and the contracting activity is FME.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition, based on AMC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (engineering source approval required to maintain part quality). A Sources Sought notice was posted to Contract Opportunities on 06/01/2026 with no responses received. Advanced Control Technology Inc. (CAGE 03DC1) is identified as the source of interest. The anticipated fair and reasonable price determination is based on previous purchase history. A market survey was conducted through the Sources Sought posting to increase competition. Technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition; data presently available reflects government minimum needs. The contracting officer (Francis Rettzo) approved the justification on 06/10/26 for acquisitions not exceeding $10 million. Actions to overcome barriers to competition include posting solicitation on Contract Opportunities to notify interested manufacturers and request approval packages for DLA Aviation consideration under IAW Proc. Note M06/L04.
