This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (AVN Form S53) for a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 15. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support in Richmond is seeking to acquire NRP roller swaging parts (NSN 1880-01-619-9211) in quantities of 10 each for government use and 40 each for equipment as needed. The estimated value is classified. The acquisition is structured as an indefinite quantity/firm fixed price contract with no options.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limited competition, specifically identifying Rexnord Industries (CAGE 77896) as the sole capable source. The selected authority is AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (the part requires engineering source approval to maintain quality). A sources sought notice and RFI were posted on Contract Opportunities on 08/07/2026, resulting in one response from Kitco LLC (CAGE 34087), which will be added to the mailing list. The contracting officer notes that the NSN is deemed 3C (single approved source) and requires a SAR (Source Approval Request) package to become an approved source. The justification indicates efforts to overcome competition barriers through posting the synopsis and inviting manufacturers interested in source approval to submit packages. The Contracting Officer (Christopher Rose, DLA Weapons Support) approved the justification on 08/13/2026, certifying the information as accurate and complete.
