Summary of Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, March 2026) filed by DLA Weapons Support for a limited competition sole source acquisition.

Acquisition Details and Rationale: The acquisition concerns 1,290 units of seal, electrical conductive, e-bay door components (NSN 5342-01406/2132, PN 1927040-101 and PN 19-09-0621-1285-40) under a 5-year firm fixed-price indefinite quantity contract. The total estimated acquisition value is redacted. The contracting activity is FAZC, and the solicitation number is SPE4A726R0515. DLA Weapons Support justified the limited competition sole source procurement under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC B (part must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing). A sources sought notice and Request for Information was posted on Contract Opportunities on March 25, 2026, which resulted in no responses. The Acquisition Specialist determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on historical pricing, cost analysis, and published price comparisons. A market survey was conducted, with solicitation notices posted on SAM and emails sent to dealers requesting quotes. Two sources indicated interest: All-System Aerospace Int'l, Inc. (CAGE 8R471) and RSI (CAGE 1QMEF6).

Competition Mitigation and Approval: To overcome barriers to competition in future acquisitions, the solicitation will include procurement notes M06/L04 (replacing DLAD Deleted Clause 52.217-9002) to permit other vendors to submit SAR packages and enhance future competition. The justification was approved by the Contracting Officer, Genesis Johnson, on April 6, 2026, as the estimated value does not exceed $10 million, requiring only Contracting Officer-level approval.
