Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the acquisition of "PISTON, HYDRAULIC FL" (National Stock Number/Part Number: 1650-01-286-5223). This action, under solicitation number SPE4A7-26-R-0417, is based on the determination that the item is available from only one or limited sources, citing 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1).
Purpose & Scope
This J&A outlines the rationale for a sole source and limited competition acquisition of 40 Each (EAQ) of the specified hydraulic piston. The justification is specifically based on AMSC P, indicating that the Government does not possess the necessary data rights to procure the part from additional sources, nor can these rights be purchased, developed, or otherwise obtained.
Contract Details
The contract type is an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a duration of 5 base years and no option periods. The anticipated cost has been determined to be fair and reasonable based on previous procurement history.
Competition & Future Opportunities
This document is a justification for sole source and not a solicitation for proposals. A Sources Sought notice was previously posted on February 5, 2026, but did not yield any vendor responses. To enhance future competition, DLA Aviation intends to include procurement notes that will permit other vendors to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package.
