SPE4A726R0218_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53, October 2025), submitted by DLA Weapons Support (FAZC) for procurement under solicitation number SPE4A726R0218.

The document justifies the acquisition of 405 units of KEYER (NSN 5895-01694569; P/N NM115001-0400) on a sole source basis from Atlantic Signal LLC (CAGE 32CW5). The contract type is Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Quantity with a 5-year base period and no options. The total estimated dollar value is redacted, but the acquisition threshold indicates approval authority at the Contracting Officer level (not exceeding $900,000). A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted on Contract Opportunities on November 29, 2025, with no responses received. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition, with primary reliance on AMSC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC P (Government's use data is not owned and cannot be purchased from other sources). The document notes that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. A market survey was conducted via email with approved sources and dealers. The Contracting Officer (Genesis Johnson) certified the justification on December 2, 2025. Actions to overcome future barriers to competition include inclusion of procurement notes M06/L04 in the solicitation to permit other vendors to submit proposals, with plans to enhance future competition.
