This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JUSTIFICATION) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The procurement is for 2 DAMPER, FLUE items with National Stock Number 4520-01-089-4556, using a Firm Fixed Price contract type. The acquisition is being pursued through FAR Part 13 procedures, with a sources sought notice posted on 17 APR 2025. Only one response was received from BHPE LLC (CAGE 9SWS7), which was notified they are not on the Approved List of Sources and must become a registered potential source.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) under Acquisition Method Code (AMC) 3, which allows direct acquisition from the manufacturer. The market research was conducted based on IAW DLA Broadcast Acquisition Memo, and technical certification indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The contract will be awarded by the Contracting Officer Jean Paul Bretz, and the approval level is for contracts not exceeding $750,000, requiring only the Contracting Officer's signature.
