SPRRA126R0013_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 15.

The acquisition seeks 20 units of Cylinder Assembly A (NSN 1650-01-123-2704/173HS510-1) as a one-time buy with firm fixed pricing. The contracting activity is DLA/AHAB, with solicitation number SPRRA1-26-R-0013. Two sources are identified as capable of supplying the required item: Eaton Aerospace LLC (CAGE 99643) and Jamaica Bearings Co Inc. as an approved distributor (CAGE 04836). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority for limited competition, specifically AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC P (data rights not owned by Government and cannot be purchased, developed, or obtained). The acquisition is restricted to approved sources because it is a spare part with an approved part number and military unique requirement not available in the commercial marketplace.

A sources sought notice and RFI were posted on Contract Opportunities on 14 October 2025, resulting in no response. Market research confirmed that Government needs cannot be met by commercially available items. The solicitation was synopsized on 22 October 2025, with any firm requesting a solicitation copy to be provided one. The anticipated cost to the Government is determined fair and reasonable based on FAR Part 15 procedures. The Contracting Officer, Jennifer Baker, approved the justification on 20 October 2025, with approval authority not exceeding $900,000.
