This justification outlines the rationale for a sole-source or limited competition procurement.

Scope of Procurement

The requirement is for 34 units of a specific "Cover, Access" component, identified by NSN/PN 5340016197756/PN: 7-511171034-53. The acquisition is for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer, and the part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality.

Contract & Timeline

Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, leading to a Firm Fixed Price contract.
Statutory Authority: 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), indicating availability from only one or a limited number of sources.
Set-Aside: None specified, as this is a sole-source justification.
Published Date: May 28, 2026.
Estimated Value: The acquisition is approved for over $900,000 but not exceeding $20,000,000.
Options: The contract may include options for increased quantity or to extend the term.

Justification for Limited Competition

The acquisition is restricted to the only known source(s) capable of furnishing the required supplies. This is due to:

AMC 3: Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer.
AMSC C: The part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity.
Technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, reflecting only the minimum needs of the Government.
