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 Refrigerant Reclaimers. This acquisition is planned as an indefinite quantity contract with a 3-year base period, designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside. The justification outlines the intent to procure these items from a limited source due to technical data unavailability and lack of competitive responses to a prior sources sought notice.

Item: Refrigerant Reclaimers (NSN/PN: 4250014117240/PN: 17800 C)
Quantity: Minimum 75 units, Maximum 175 units

Contract & Timeline

Type: Indefinite Quantity Contract
Duration: 3-year base period
Set-Aside: Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)
Published Date: May 12, 2026
Estimated Value: Exceeds $900,000 but does not exceed $150,000,000 (based on approval levels)

Justification for Limited Competition

The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), indicating the item is available from only one or a limited number of sources. A sources sought notice posted on SAM.gov on November 13, 2025, yielded no responses. The acquisition is restricted to Bosch Automotive Service Solutions, Inc. (CAGE 45225), identified as the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies, due to technical data not being available or developable for full and open competition.

Actions to Improve Competition

A synopsis will be posted on or about November 19, 2025, to allow other interested manufacturers to submit Source Approval Request (SAR) packages. This action aims to inform potential sources and guide them on becoming approved manufacturers.
