About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for solicitation SPE7LX-25-R-0058 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime.
The acquisition covers supplies for military vehicles including the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) and Mine Resistant Armor Protected (MRAP) vehicles. Seven National Stock Numbers (NSNs) are being procured: Fan and Pulley Assembly (117 units), Regulator Assembly (50 units), Battery Power Supply (1,625 units), Regulator Assembly for Housing Engine Drive (546 units), Housing Engine Drive (48 units), Housing Engine Drive (47 units), and Panel Power Distribution (6 units). The contract will be a Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Quantity Contract with a one-year base period and four possible option years. Inspection and acceptance will occur at destination except for CLIN 0003, which will occur at origin. The estimated total value across all CLINs is redacted but spans seven NSNs.
The procurement is restricted to C.E. Niehoff & Co Inc. (CAGE code 76761) based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for items available from limited sources. The justification cites multiple Authorized Method of Contracting (AMC) 3 authorities and specific AMSC categories (B, C, and D) due to unavailable technical data, required engineering source approval, and unique manufacturing knowledge held by the approved source. A market survey conducted May 13-20, 2025 contacted three vendors with responses from CE Niehoff & Co and Cavanaugh Government Group. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about July 15, 2025, and dealers will be solicited. Certified Cost or Pricing Data will be required. The solicitation was signed by Contracting Officer Laugherty, Patrick K.J. on June 25, 2025, and approved by Competition Advocate Wiebusch, Jamie on June 27, 2025. Approval authority is the Competition Advocate for contracts exceeding $750,000.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION
SOLICITATION SPE7LX-25-R-0058
5. If restricted to the only source(s) of supply, include source(s) and CAGE code:
C.E. Niehoff & Co Inc. (76761)
The use of the authority cited below:
[X] AMC 3. Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer
The use of the authority cited is based on:
[X] AMSC B. CLIN 0003 ONLY This part must be acquired from a manufacturing source(s) specified on a source control or selected item drawing as defined by the current version of DoD-STD-100. Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources, nor qualification testing of another part, nor use of a second source part in the intended application. Although, by DoD-STD-100 definition, altered and selected items shall have an adequate technical data package, data review discloses that required data or data rights are not in Government possession and cannot be economically obtained.
If one source is available, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources exist, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.
[X] AMSC C. CLIN 0004 and 0005 ONLY This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge by the qualified source(s) require acquisition of the part from the approved source(s).
The approved source(s) retain data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the part. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. If one source is approved, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid.
[X] AMSC D. CLIN 0001 0002 0006 and 0007 ONLY The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, it cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications or any other adequate, economical description of the material for a competitive solicitation. AMCS 3, 4, or 5 are valid.
The acquisition is restricted to C.E. Niehoff & Co, which is the only known source known to have the capability of furnishing the required supplies and the only source currently approved by the design control activity. Suitable technical data, data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources and cannot be purchased, developed, or otherwise obtained.
6. Efforts to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practicable are:
[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about July 15, 2025 [X] Dealers of the manufacturers will be solicited
7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. Certified Cost or
Pricing Data will be required since none of the exceptions found at FAR 15.403-1 are applicable. Costs and
