Redaction (Final) Ballast Lamp_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a ballast lamp procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Construction and Equipment (C&E) Supply Chain.

The procurement seeks to acquire ballast lamps (NSN 6250-01-420-7257) from Aytechyee Inc. (CAGE 30242), part number 8186-1, on a sole-source basis under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1). The contracting officer has determined that only one responsible source and no other suppliers or services will satisfy agency requirements. The contract will include four, one-year option periods. DLA Troop Support conducted market research through a Sources Sought Notice published on the Contract Opportunities website from July 1, 2025, through August 5, 2025, to expand competition prior to establishing the sole-source requirement. The requirement will be synopsized on SAM.gov and posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS). The justification was signed by Contracting Officer ASHEAI PATTERSON on 04/02/2026 and approved by DLA Troop Support Competition Advocate MACIEJ OKULICZ-KOZARYN. A Product Specialist certified the justification on 04/07/2026. The contracting officer certifies the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable, and DLA will continue performing market research prior to future acquisitions for this requirement while documenting evaluation of alternative products.
