This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) for a limited competition procurement by DLA Weapons Support Richmond.

The procurement involves the acquisition of 24 Switch Assy Brake units (NSN 1650005708730) from Triumph Gear Systems Inc. (CAGE 82402) under solicitation SPE4A726R0451. The contract type is FFP (Firm Fixed Price), and the total estimated dollar value is 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 justification cites AMSC P as the primary basis, indicating that the rights to use data needed to purchase this part from additional sources are not owned by the Government and cannot be purchased, developed, or otherwise obtained. Additional supporting rationale includes technical certification on file showing that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, with data presently available reflecting only the Government's minimum needs.

The Government conducted a sources sought synopsis/RFI posted on Contract Opportunities on 2/18/2026, which resulted in no responses. A market survey was also conducted with firms indicating interest in the acquisition. The justification includes procurement notes M06/L04 to replace DLAD Delete Clause 52.217-002 and Procurement Note L22 replacing DLAD deleted provision 32.217-9023 to enhance future competition. The Competition Advocate and technical/requirements personnel have certified the justification as accurate and complete. Approval authority rests with the Competition Advocate for this acquisition valued over $900,000 but not exceeding $20 million.
