This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) document for Solicitation No. SPE7L126R0079 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Columbus).

The DLA Weapons Support (Columbus) is acquiring 61 Seal Assembly Kits (NSN 5330-014629466) under a firm-fixed-price contract on a fixed-quantity, one-time buy basis. The end item is classified as EZN - Ticonderoga Class CG (47). The acquisition is restricted to a single source—Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp (CAGE 8FGX3)—based on statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1, invoking AMSC D criteria under DFARS PGI 217.7506 Part 2. The justification states that data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, cannot be obtained economically, and cannot be drafted as adequate specifications or descriptions for a competitive solicitation. The sourcing restriction is based on the requirement for spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently used on the supported weapon system, with Curtiss-Wright being the only source currently approved by the design control activity. On March 30, 2026, a Sources Sought Notice was posted to sam.gov for five business days with no responses, and a market survey contacted three vendors (Argo Turboserve Corporation, Siemens Energy Inc., and Curtiss-Wright), with only Argo Turboserve expressing interest. The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days on or about April 10, 2026. Fair and reasonable pricing will be established through comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid and cost analysis where required. The contracting officer signed the justification on April 22, 2026, and approval authority extends up to $10,000,000.
