The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of CONE & ROLLERS, TAPERED ROLLER BEARING (NSN 3110-01-391-9050).

Purpose & Scope

Contract Details

Type: Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC)
Duration: 5-year base period
Set-Aside: None (Sole Source Justification)
Estimated Value: Not explicitly stated, but below $10 million, allowing Contracting Officer approval.

Justification for Limited Competition

The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), indicating that the item is available from only one or a limited number of sources. A sources sought notice posted on March 10, 2026, yielded no responses. The item is under source control (AMSC B), meaning technical data is unavailable for full and open competition. Although the material is Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS), the Engineering Support Activity (ESA) will not change the AMSC code to "Z" due to quality control requirements. The item will be purchased under commercial procedures with an AMSC code of "D". The anticipated cost is deemed fair and reasonable based on procurement history.
