This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (CUI Form S53, June 2026). The document justifies a limited competition procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Ogden for circuit card assemblies (NSN 5998010700839 / 42-29153) in the quantity of 14 units. The estimated acquisition value is redacted, with a firm fixed-price contract type selected without options.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority, with the selected basis being AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer). The sole identified source is Crane Hydro Aire Inc. (CAGE 81982). Key limitations to competition include: (1) only Hydro Aire Inc. owns the complete data to manufacture the subject NSN; (2) technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition; and (3) duplication costs are estimated at $2,296,000.00 with a 273-year break-even period. Market research was conducted via RFI/SSS posted to Sam.gov, commercial catalog reviews, and procurement history review, resulting in no responses. The solicitation was scheduled for synopsis on July 1, 2026, with firms requesting a copy to be provided one. The Contracting Officer (Johnny Wakefield, PCO) certified approval on July 7, 2026, as the anticipated cost did not exceed $10 million.
