About this file

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime for solicitation SPE7LX-25-R-X015, issued in February 2025. The acquisition involves spare parts for 80A Truck, Vehicle System 1¼ Ton, specifically two components: disc brake rotors (NSN 2530-015670893, quantity 1,180) and disc brake calipers (NSN 2530-015659660, quantity 2,745). The contract is structured as a five-year indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIC) firm-fixed-price arrangement with a three-year base period and two one-year option periods. The acquisition is restricted to two approved sources: Wilwood Engineering (CAGE 04XS7) and AM General LLC (CAGE 34623), justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on AMSC code R, indicating the government does not own manufacturing data or rights and it would be uneconomical to reverse engineer the parts or purchase the data.

The government conducted comprehensive market research including a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov on February 21, 2025, for five business days, with responses from BHPE (9SWS7) and The Toota Group (93ST9), though neither submitted completed documentation. A market survey was conducted on February 20, 2025, contacting Wilwood Engineering and AM General, with Wilwood responding positively. The acquisition will be synopsized on July 21, 2025, for 30 days, posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for 30 days, and dealers of approved sources will be solicited. Fair and reasonable pricing will be established through comparative price analysis and historical pricing data. The solicitation includes DLAD Procurement Note L04 allowing alternate offers and encouraging vendors to pursue source approval. A prior justification (SPE7LX20D0122) is attached. Contracting Officer Carol M. Bucher and Competition Advocate Jamie Wiebusch approved the J&A on July 24, 2025, with approval authority at the Competition Advocate level due to estimated contract value exceeding $750,000.
