This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document from the Department of the Navy, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation in Philadelphia for a single-award contract action.

The procurement seeks to acquire 15 Shipping and Storage Container Engines (NSN 012844622, P/N 1930AS100) as spares. The expected final delivery date is March 7, 2028. The contracting activity is DLA Aviation - Philadelphia, with Justin Clough serving as the Item Manager and Casey Stock as the Buyer. The statutory authority for this other than full and open competition is 10 USC 3204(A)(1), permitting the use of limited sources when only one or a limited number of responsible sources will satisfy agency requirements. The J&A is based on AIRMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AIRMSC C (engineering source approval required to maintain quality). Market research was conducted by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (WSS) N241, the Navy's Design Control Activity for the subject container, with only currently approved sources identified: Lanzen Fabricating Inc., Armor Metal Group Mason Inc., Contract Industrial Tooling Inc., Container Research Corporation, Champion Company, and Erie Engineered Products Inc. The acquisition will be solicited only to these sources due to the complex nature of the container, which requires highly specialized tooling, critical dimensional tolerances, and proven fabrication techniques. The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on May 27, 2026, with no other sources expressing interest. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.
