Metals TLSP Redacted JA.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document authorizing a bridge action to extend three existing competitively awarded contracts under the Metals Tailored Logistics Support Program (TLSP).

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Construction and Equipment Supply Chain is extending performance on three current TLSP contracts—SPE8E4-21-D-0001 (SupplyCore LLC), SPE8E4-21-D-0002 (I-Solutions Direct Inc.), and SPE8E4-21-D-0003 (TW Metals LLC)—by an additional 180 calendar days. The original contract period extended from July 23, 2021, through July 22, 2026; the modification extends the expiration date to January 19, 2027. The program maximum dollar value remains at $900 million with no additional funding required for the 180-day extension. The TLSP is a competitively awarded multiple award program that supplies aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, brass, titanium, nickel and nickel alloys, and other industrial metals in various forms (wire, plate, sheet, strip, bar, angle, extrusions, pipe, tube, and custom shapes) throughout the Continental United States and worldwide via Container Consolidation Points in CONUS. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition, determining that only the current contractors can satisfy requirements within the required timeframe due to their established customer support representatives, supplier agreements, transportation arrangements, understanding of customer requirements, and integrated systems with DLA Troop Support. The contracting officer determined anticipated costs to be fair and reasonable, and the justification will be published to Contract Opportunities for public inspection.
