This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation. The procurement is for a RING, MATING, SEAL with NSN 5365-01-737125, with an indefinite quantity contract type. A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) was sent on 11/14/24, which received responses from Union Machine Company and Preci-Manufacturing, Inc., both of whom indicated they will bid. The acquisition is being justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as available from only one or limited number of sources, specifically citing AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval to maintain part quality). The estimated contract value is redacted, but the document indicates the acquisition is not exceeding $750,000, which requires approval from the Contracting Officer. The procurement is for a technical item where full technical certification data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition.
