SPE4A726R0726_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI - Controlled Unclassified Information) filed under FAR Part 15 for a sole source acquisition.

The Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support Richmond is acquiring Landing Gear Wheel components (NSN 1630-00-516-6741) from JAY-EM Aerospace Corporation (CAGE 23233) on a sole source basis. The acquisition involves an estimated annual quantity of 80 units with a 5-year estimated quantity of 400 units. 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 includes both annual and 5-year estimates. The solicitation number is SPE4A726R0726, and the contracting activity is FAQE. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for other than full and open competition, specifically under AMSC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC R (Government does not own data or rights needed to purchase from another source; not economical to procure data or rights to data).

Market research efforts included a sources sought notice posted to Contract Opportunities on July 27, 2026, which resulted in no contractor responses. The sole source restriction is justified based on technical data unavailability and manufacturer-specific requirements. The Contracting Officer determined anticipated costs are fair and reasonable based on historical pricing analysis. Actions to overcome barriers to competition include posting a sources sought notice and presolicitation synopsis on Contract Opportunities with Procurement Notes 1.04 and M06 to encourage alternate sources. The justification was approved by the Contracting Officer on August 3, 2026, and is classified as "FED ONLY" distribution.
