This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI form AVN Form S53, March 2026) for a sole source acquisition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1).

The DLA Weapons Support agency is acquiring 1,001 units of remote control radio devices (NSN 5820-01-677-318 and PN 10553-2360-02) from L3Harris Global Communications Inc. (CAGE 7QAK7). The contract type is Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Quantity with a 2-year base period and no options. The total estimated acquisition value is redacted. The acquisition is restricted to L3Harris as the sole known source capable of furnishing the required supplies. The solicitation number is SPE4A7-26-R-0745, with a synopsized award date of 8/17/2026.

The justification cites AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC P (rights to use data needed to purchase the part are not owned by the Government and cannot be purchased, developed, or otherwise obtained) as the statutory authorities for limiting competition. A sources sought notice and RFI were posted to Contract Opportunities on 8/6/2026 with no responses received. Market research was conducted with firms indicating interest solicited via email; L3Harris stated their distributor ASRC would submit a quote. The acquisition specialist anticipates pricing will be reasonable based on cost comparison with historical prices, published market prices, and published data. Actions to overcome barriers to competition include inclusion of procurement notes M06/L04 (Replaced DLAD Deleted Clause 52.217-9002) to permit other vendors to submit SAR packets for future competitions. The Contracting Officer (Genesis Johnson) approved the justification on 8/24/2026.
