Eligibility / Set-Aside
This acquisition is not set-aside for small businesses and is restricted to the only known source(s) capable of furnishing the required supplies. The statutory authority for this limited competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), indicating that the supplies are available from only one or a limited number of sources.
DONALDSON COMPANY, INC. (CAGE 18265) has been identified as the sole source due to the unavailability of technical data required to permit full and open competition. Efforts to improve competition included a Sources Sought notice/RFI posted on beta.SAM.gov on March 28, 2025. One vendor, Coherent Technical Services, Inc., responded, but will not be evaluated for this procurement due to evaluation timeframe constraints. The Sources Sought was intended to enhance future competition.
Submission & Evaluation
This document is a justification for other than full and open competition, not a solicitation. Therefore, there are no specific submission or evaluation instructions for proposals. The solicitation will include procurement notes M06/L04.
Additional Notes
Approval for this acquisition, given its estimated value, is required from the Contracting Officer and Competition Advocate. The DLA Aviation Supply Chain, Richmond, is the contracting activity. Interested parties for future opportunities should monitor SAM.gov for potential Sources Sought notices.
