Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of 1,061 Compressed Cylinders (NSN: 8120017159545). This justification, under solicitation number SPE4A526R0081, restricts the acquisition to Scott Technologies, Inc. (CAGE 15927) due to the unavailability of technical data and limited sources. The estimated value is between $900,000 and $20,000,000.

Purpose & Scope

This document justifies a sole source acquisition for 1,061 units of Cylinder, Compressed, with National Stock Number (NSN) 8120017159545 and part number 804723-31. The acquisition is for DLA Weapons Support (Richmond), with FMCC as the contracting activity. The justification is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), indicating that the supplies are available from only one or a limited number of responsible sources.

Contract Details

Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price
Quantity: 1,061 units
Estimated Value: Over $900,000 not exceeding $20,000,000 (total, inclusive of options, to be determined)
Options: The contract may include options for increased quantity or term extension.
Place of Performance: Richmond, VA 23237, United States

Justification & Market Research

Market research included a review of historical contracts, the Approved Manufacturers List (AMPL), a sources sought notice/RFI posted on October 29, 2025 (which received one response from Ayka Consulting 1), and a synopsis posting. The justification asserts that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and the available data reflects the minimum needs of the Government. The acquisition is restricted to Scott Technologies, Inc. (CAGE 15927) as the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies.

Eligibility & Set-Aside

Set-Aside: Not applicable, as this is a justification for other than full and open competition.
