Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency - Land Warren (DLA-WRN) has published a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition to procure Injection Pumps for the AVDS-1790 Diesel Engine. This is a Firm-Fixed-Price contract for a base quantity of 496 units with a 100% option for an additional 496 units, totaling 992 units. The justification is based on the government's lack of technical data and the uneconomical nature of competitive re-procurement.
Scope of Work
- The core deliverable is the Injection Pump, Part Number (PN) KT414350, National Stock Number (NSN) 2910-01-696-8274.
- This pump is a critical component for a specialized Air Cooled, V-engine configuration, Diesel, Super turbocharged (AVDS-1790) engine assembly used in a unique military weapons system.
- It must provide a high-pressure charge of fuel to the cylinder head assemblies at a precise time during the engine's combustion cycle.
- The approved source's item has successfully met NATO requirement for Diesel and Spark Ignition Engines AEP-5.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price.
- Acquisition Method Code (AMC): 4 - Acquire, for the first time, directly from the actual manufacturer.
- Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC): R - Data or rights to use data are not owned by the Government and it is uneconomical to purchase them.
Justification for Sole Source
This acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source). The government does not possess the necessary technical data or specifications for competitive re-procurement. Developing a competitive package through reverse engineering is estimated to incur significant costs and delays, including vehicle-level qualification and durability testing. Market research indicated that while other manufacturers produce similar items, none have successfully passed durability testing. Two sources, BHPE LLC and EOS Inc. (distributor for RENK America), expressed interest.
