JA SPE4A725R0223_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the Defense Logistics Agency. The procurement is for Pressure Bellows (NSN 1660-00-340-0906), with an estimated annual and 5-year contract value that is redacted. The contract will be a Firm Fixed Price contract with a 5-year period. BHPE LLC (CAGE 9SWS7) was the sole source identified through a sources sought notice posted on 11/26/2024, with no other interested vendors discovered during market research.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limited competition, specifically under AMC 3 (acquiring directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval to maintain part quality). The technical certification indicates that the data is not available to permit full and open competition. The contract is below the $750,000 threshold, requiring approval from the Contracting Officer, and is scheduled for potential award on 12/10/2024, with Jeremy Prince from the contracting team certifying the document's accuracy.
