This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) for a sole source acquisition under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12.

Acquisition Overview and Rationale

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support in Richmond is acquiring a Probe Assembly, Temp (NSN 6685-01-129-1806) with an estimated quantity of 19 units from American Turbo Systems Inc. (CAGE 0WE82) under an Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-year base period. The acquisition is restricted to a single source based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies/services is American Turbo Systems Inc. The justification indicates this is a second or subsequent time acquisition directly from the manufacturer (AMC 3). A Sources Sought notice was posted to Contract Opportunities on 7/1/2026, which resulted in no responses. Market research efforts included publishing a Sources Sought notice to increase competition, though no additional vendors indicated interest. The document emphasizes that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and data currently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government. No IJ&A (Independent Government Estimate) is required for this procurement.

Approval and Control

The Contracting Officer (Herbert Davis) has approved this justification, which does not exceed $10 million and is controlled by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) and FM Bearings Division. The procurement is designated as FED ONLY with general procurement distribution/dissemination. The document is marked as CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information).
