Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the acquisition of Urbin Exhaust Duct (NSN 2835-004973918). This J&A, under Solicitation Number SPE4A726R0181, justifies a sole source or limited competition approach due to the unavailability of technical data and a lack of responses to previous market research efforts. The acquisition is for DLA Weapons Support, with contracting activity at DLA Richmond - FAQE. The J&A was approved for an amount not exceeding $900,000.

Purpose & Justification

This document serves to justify the acquisition of the specified Urbin Exhaust Duct using other than full and open competition, citing 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority. The primary reason for this approach is the lack of available technical data that would permit full and open competition. Despite efforts to maximize competition, including a sources sought notice posted on 11/5/2025 and a synopsis on 11/10/2025, no contractors responded. The government asserts that the available data reflects its minimum needs.

Scope of Requirement

The requirement is for the procurement of Urbin Exhaust Duct, NSN/PN: 2835-004973918. The quantities specified are 40 each (base) and 400 each (option).

Contract Details

Type: Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC)
Duration: 5-Year Base Period (no options on the contract itself, but the requirement has options)
Estimated Value: Not specified, but the J&A approval level is for acquisitions not exceeding $900,000.
Set-Aside: None specified in the document.

Competition & Potential Sources

Efforts to identify potential sources included soliciting manufacturers of similar products and dealers. Libby Power Systems LLC (CAGE 36024) is identified as a potential source. The solicitation will include Procurement Notes L04 and M06 to allow potential new sources to submit data for evaluation, indicating an ongoing interest in fostering competition where possible.
