Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency - Land Warren (DLA-WRN) has published a Justification and Approval (J&A) for the sole-source procurement of a specific rotary pump (NSN 4320-01-706-5673) for the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV). This J&A proposes to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to Crane Pumps & Systems PFT Corp., citing "Only One Responsible Source" under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1.
Purpose & Scope
This document justifies the acquisition of Pump, Rotary (NSN 4320-01-706-5673, manufacturer part number OZDCL-00L33-291). The pump is a critical component for the AMPV, requiring specific space claim, tolerance, vehicle interface, and gunfire shock resistance. The procurement includes a base quantity of 178 units and an option for an additional 178 units, totaling 356 pumps.
Contract Details
- Type: Firm-Fixed-Price contract.
- Proposed Awardee: Crane Pumps & Systems PFT Corp.
- Estimated Value: Redacted in the document.
- Period of Performance: Not explicitly stated, but for the delivery of the specified quantities.
Eligibility / Justification
The procurement is justified due to the absence of other responsible sources capable of meeting agency requirements. Crane Pumps & Systems PFT Corp. is identified as the sole qualified manufacturer that designed, developed, and tested this specific pump to meet the unique AMPV requirements. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice, did not yield viable commercial alternatives suitable for the military environment. Reverse engineering was considered but deemed too costly and time-consuming to justify for increasing competition.
Additional Notes
This is a justification document, not a solicitation for proposals. The item has been determined to be a commercial product, therefore certified cost or pricing data will not be required.
