This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.103-1) for a one-time acquisition of spare parts by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support located in Columbus.

The procurement concerns a Cylinder Assembly (NSN 3040016425372 and 151235B) with a quantity of 226 units plus 100% option. The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support (Columbus), and the acquisition is structured as a firm-fixed-price contract under FAR Part 15. The Government requires spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently used on the supported end item or weapon system (WSDC:72A & WSIC:F). The sole identified source is Jarp Industries Inc. (CAGE 63899), which the Government has determined is the only source known to have the capability of furnishing the required supplies and is the only source currently approved by the design control activity. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and AMSC code R, indicating the Government does not own the data or rights necessary to purchase from additional sources and that reverse engineering would be uneconomical. Market research efforts—including a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov on 02/23/2026 (yielding no results), a market survey contacting Jarp Industries and Oshkosh Corp (receiving no responses), procurement history review, and general internet search—all failed to identify alternative sources. The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days beginning on or about 04/08/2026. The Contracting Officer certified the justification on 04/07/2026, and approval authority is limited to the Contracting Officer for actions not exceeding $10,000,000.
