SOLICITATION SPE7LX19RX070

DLA Land and Maritime Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition (J&A) (April 2014)

ORIGINAL

1. The Defense Logistics Agency, DLA Land and Maritime, is the contracting activity.

2. The action being approved is the acquisition of supplies on other-than a full and open competition basis.

3. The supplies required to meet the using activity's needs are described as follows:

NSN Nomenclature AMC AMSC Annual Demand Qty Annual Value 5-Yr Value

4330011182868 PARTS KIT, FLUID PRESSURE 3 B 971

The approved part number is:

Purolator Facet (90005) part number 1763950

Identify end item, weapon system, or class of item:

This requirement is in support, but not limited to the Assault Breacher Vehicle, Abrams M1 Engine, M1A1 Combat Tank.

ESTIMATED BASE VALUE:

(5-Yr Base Period with no options)

MAXIMUM CONTRACT VALUE:

4. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is:

10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) - Available from only one or a limited number of sources.

5. A demonstration that the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited in paragraph 4:

Although this kit has been determined commercial, it is used on military-specific vehicles designed to satisfy the needs of the warfighter. This kit, including a filter, was determined “commercial of a type” due to similar items being available in the commercial marketplace.

The Assault Breacher Vehicle, and the Abrams M1 and M1A1 Tanks, and this kit, were designed to meet military-specific requirements. Purolator Facet (90005) is the only known source that has the technical data and manufacturing knowledge necessary to ensure these parts properly support the vehicle and tanks. There is no evidence that standard, similar commercial parts can support these military-specific vehicles. It is, therefore, essential to limit procurement to the Purolator Facet (90005) part number, in accordance with the source-control drawing.

The use of the authority cited is based on:
