Summary

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) document for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Columbus) facility. The acquisition covers a five-year firm-fixed-price Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) for a disk valve (NSN 4810015191794) used on the Truck, Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical (HEMTT) vehicle system under Federal Supply Code 4810. The base period is one year with four one-year option periods. The acquisition is restricted to two approved sources: Delta Power Hydraulic Co. (CAGE 30058) and Oshkosh Defense LLC (CAGE 75Q65), based on the Government's lack of data rights and the uneconomical nature of reverse engineering the part.

The justification supports procurement under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) with AMSC code R indicating the Government does not own manufacturing data or rights. A Sources Sought Notice was posted on SAM.gov on August 1, 2025, yielding one interested response (BHPE LLC), which did not provide substantive market research feedback. A market survey conducted July 21-September 10, 2025, contacted three vendors with no responses. The contracting officer determined proceeding with the limited competition is in the Government's best interest. The solicitation will be synopsized on September 12, 2025, for 15 days. Fair and reasonable pricing will be established through price analysis comparing proposed prices to historical data and certified cost or pricing data as necessary. The justification was signed by Contracting Officer Frederick Stephanie M. on October 20, 2025, and requires approval authority up to $900,000.
