This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) seeking to acquire 80 Bellows Assembly, F1 components from Arrowhead Products Corp. The contract is for a 5-base year, 0-option year procurement, with a sole source justification based on the ability to acquire directly from the manufacturer under AMC 3 acquisition method.

A sources sought notice was posted on November 4, 2025, but no vendors responded. The acquisition is being controlled by DLA Weapons Support in Richmond, VA, with a federal-only distribution. The Contracting Officer and Competition Advocate have reviewed and approved the justification, noting that technical certification is required due to the lack of available technical data to permit full and open competition. The document indicates efforts to increase competition were made, but no alternative sources were identified for these specific components.
