Contract & Timeline

Contract Type: Indefinite Quantity / Firm Fixed Price
Statutory Authority: 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) – Available from only one or limited number of sources.
Set-Aside: None specified (JOFOC for limited competition)
Published Date: February 17, 2026
Place of Performance: Santa Clarita, CA, United States

Justification for Limited Competition

The primary reasons for limiting competition are the Government's lack of adequate data or rights to data, and the uneconomical nature of acquiring such data (AMC Q and AMC R). Technical data is currently unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, reflecting the minimum needs of the Government.

Efforts to Increase Competition & Future Opportunities

Market research, including a Sources Sought notice/RFI posted on October 28, 2025, identified Jamaica Bearings as an authorized distributor for Pall Aeropower. To overcome barriers to competition, the NSN is designated as 1R, requiring a Source Approval Request (SAR) package. A synopsis will be posted to allow other manufacturers to submit SAR packages for DLA Aviation's consideration, providing a clear path for future competitive opportunities.
