4.2c JA SPE7L125R0126 redactions applied.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) for solicitation SPE7L125R0126 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division. The document justifies a limited competition procurement restricted to one responsible source under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1).

The acquisition covers retainer seals (NSN 5330-01-645-0443) for the LDP-17 Amphibious Transport with a quantity of 10 each plus a 100% option. The contract is firm-fixed price, classified as non-commercial. The approved sole source is MIDE TECHNOLOGY CORP (CAGE 0ZEU0), selected based on AMSC code C requirements mandating engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain part quality. Prior market research conducted August 13-22, 2025, contacted MIDE TECHNOLOGY CORP and THE BOEING COMPANY, yielding no responses. A Sources Sought Notice posted August 15, 2025, for five business days generated no responses. No procurement history reveals alternative sources. The solicitation will be synopsized August 27, 2025, for 15 days and posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for 30 days minimum. Fair and reasonable pricing will be established through comparison of proposed prices to historical prices and cost analysis as required. The justification notes that a Product Specialist certified the approved source and applicable AMC/AMSC codes on August 13, 2025. DLA encourages potential alternate vendors to contact the Source Approval Monitor regarding qualification procedures. No prior justification exists as all previous acquisitions fell under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
