This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for a sole source acquisition.

The acquisition involves 186 units of a cylinder and piston assembly (NSN 1620-01676363/201612140-10) for DLA Aviation-FAQA2. The contract type is a fixed-price large buy RFP with no options included. The estimated total dollar value and maximum dollar value are redacted. The statutory authority for this limited competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or limited number of sources. The acquisition is restricted to the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies: two identified sources with CAGE codes 1SJ80 (Johnson Manufacturing, Inc.) and 4JZH8 (FS3 Prime Logistics Group Inc.). The justification cites AMC 2 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the first time) and AMSC C (engineering source approval required by the design control activity to maintain part quality) as the basis for this procurement approach. A sources sought notice and RFI were posted to Contract Opportunities on December 14, 2025, resulting in one response from CAGE 9LYF8. A market survey was conducted and firms indicating interest will be solicited, including dealers of manufacturers. The Acquisition Specialist anticipates fair and reasonable pricing based on comparison with historical prices, cost or pricing data, and published market prices. The synopsis is scheduled for January 29, 2026, and a technical certification on file supports the unavailability of technical data. The Competition Advocate and Contracting Officer have signed the justification, which requires approval at the Competition Advocate level for contracts exceeding $900,000 but not exceeding $20,000,000.
