Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) submitted by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) for a sole source acquisition of bearing, roller, and cylindrical components.

The procurement involves an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a 5-year base period for NSN 3110-01189196 and PN 3822046-1, with quantities ranging from a minimum of 46 to a maximum of 184 units. The estimated total contract value is redacted. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority for limiting competition, specifically under AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain part quality). A Sources Sought notice was posted to Contract Opportunities on June 1, 2026, resulting in no responses. Market research was conducted to increase competition, and a synopsis is planned for June 15, 2026 with solicitation copies provided to interested firms. The acquisition is restricted to known capable sources, with two identified sources: Schaeffler Aerospace Canada Inc. (CAGE 36069) and Honeywell International Inc. (CAGE 99193). The Contracting Officer (Francis Rettzo) certified the justification on June 15, 2026, and the acquisition value falls within the $10 million or below approval threshold, requiring only Contracting Officer signature authority.
