About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice (SPE7L125R0141) on January 16, 2026, for the procurement of 51 thrust pad units designated for Virginia Class Submarines. The sole approved manufacturer identified for this procurement is Waukesha Bearings Corp. (CAGE 07332), and the contract was awarded on the same date as a firm-fixed-price agreement with 100% option. The justification for this sole source procurement rests on the determination that required data for competitive solicitation is not physically available or economically obtainable, and extensive market research efforts—including a Sources Sought Notice on SAM.gov, market survey, procurement history review, and internet search—yielded no alternative sources. The contract value is under $750,000, and the procurement is being conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). Prior to award, the solicitation underwent a 15-day synopsis period and was posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for 30 days, with dealers of the approved source also solicited to promote competition within the constraints of the sole source requirement.
