S53 JA_26R0109_redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for the acquisition of an indicator button (red) with NSN 1650-01-111-5904. The acquisition involves 770 units for general maintenance with an estimated annual system value (quantity not fully disclosed in redacted sections). This is a new action using an indefinite quantity/firm fixed price contract type without options.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limited competition, specifically under AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC R (Government lacks data rights to purchase from another source and procuring competitively is not economical). The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) under solicitation SPFAA726R0109. A sources sought notice/RFI was posted on Contract Opportunities on 10/28/2025, resulting in Jamaica Bearings (CAGE 04836) requesting to be added to the mailing list. Three approved sources are identified: Pall Aeropower (CAGE 18350), Bahr Machine Co (CAGE 75201), and Edo Arisan Inc (CAGE 95692). The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 11/04/2025, with solicitation copies provided to interested firms. A market survey was not conducted because three approved sources exist that would not result in a competitive data package. The justification notes that technical certification data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, with data presently available reflecting minimum Government needs. The Contracting Officer (Christopher Rose) certified the justification on 11/04/2025, the Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin) approved it on 11/4/25, and approval authority was over $900,000 but not exceeding $20,000,000.
