SPE4A626RXA04_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53), submitted by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) for the acquisition of BUshing, Sleeve components.

The acquisition involves an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a 5-year base period for minimum quantity of 106 units and maximum of 426 units. The procurement is being conducted under FAR Part 12 for commercial items. The contracting activity is FME under solicitation number SPE4A626RXA04. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition, with two primary justifications selected: AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality). A Sources Sought notice was posted to Contract Opportunities on 06/04/2026 with interest expressed by Periparts Group Inc. (CAGE 08U11). The sole source identified is Periparts Group Inc. The justification indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and no previous acquisitions of this NSN required J&A approval. The Contracting Officer (Francis Rettzo) certified the justification on 06/10/26 with approval authority at the Contracting Officer level for the under-$10 million acquisition value. A market survey was conducted and solicitation will be posted to allow other interested manufacturers to submit approval packages for DLA Aviation consideration.
