Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the acquisition of BEARING HALF, SLEEVE (NSN/PN 3120-01-676-9020). This document justifies a sole-source procurement from Duramax Marine (CAGE 1PNP7) due to a lack of other qualified responses to a previous sources sought notice. This is not a solicitation for proposals.
Purpose & Scope
The JOFOC outlines the requirement for 7 units of the specific "BEARING HALF, SLEEVE." The purpose is to acquire these critical items from the only known source capable of furnishing them, as efforts to improve competition, including a sources sought notice posted on 2/20/25, yielded no responses.
Acquisition Details

- Approval Level: Approved at the "over $750,000 not exceeding $15,000,000" level by the Contracting Officer and Competition Advocate.
Eligibility & Competition
- Restricted Source: Duramax Marine (CAGE 1PNP7) is identified as the sole source.
- Commercial Item: The item is considered commercial but is assigned an AMSC code "D" (not "Z") due to quality controls associated with its critical nature.
- Market Research: A sources sought notice was posted on 2/20/25, but no other interested manufacturers responded.
