This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source contract issued by the DLA Weapons Support in Richmond. The acquisition is for 5 units of Rail Safety items with a National Stock Number (NSN) 2040015109094/PN A3574-1; 22-1246-01. The contract will be a firm fixed price type with two potential sources identified: Marathonoroco Aerospace, Inc. and GK Mechanical Systems, LLC.

Key details include a sources sought notice posted on 10/29/25 which resulted in two responses, and the justification is based on AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval to maintain part quality). The market research efforts included reviewing historical contracts, the AMPL for approved sources, and a sources sought listing. The technical certification notes that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The contracting officer, Annette Pruett, has signed the document, which is currently pending approval levels based on the contract value.
