This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (Form AVN S53, October 2025), issued by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) for the Federal Materiel Management Center (FMCC).

The acquisition seeks 174 units of Indicator, Blade (NSN/PN 6685009008060/FR 6115-20520-003M) on a firm fixed-price basis. The contracting activity is identified as FMCC with solicitation number SPF4A526R0132. The document indicates this is a new action utilizing FAR Part 15 authority. The estimated total acquisition value is redacted, as is the maximum dollar value. The contract structure includes no options. Three potential sole sources have been identified: Symmetries Industries, LLC (CAGE 22830); L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (CAGE 82340); and EDO Artisan, Inc. (CAGE 95692).

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority, with AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC B (acquisition from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing) marked as applicable. A Request for Information (RFI) was posted on Contract Opportunities on January 27, 2026. The market survey included review of historical contracts, AMPL-approved sources, sources sought listing, and synopsis posting. The document notes that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and data presently available reflects minimum Government needs. The Contracting Officer (Annette Pruett) approved the justification on February 9, 2026, authorizing limited competition as the acquisition method.
