Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the acquisition of 8G CARD PCMCIA NRP (NSN/PN: 1680-01-622-5780). This document explains the rationale for a sole-source or limited competition award to Teledyne Controls LLC (CAGE 98571), as no other capable sources were identified during market research. This is not a solicitation for bids.
Purpose & Scope
This J&A supports the acquisition of an estimated annual quantity of 104 8G CARD PCMCIA NRP units, totaling 520 units over five years. The anticipated contract type is an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a 5-year base period and no options for increased quantity or extended term.
Justification Details
The justification is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that the supplies are available from only one or a limited number of sources. A sources sought notice was posted on December 23, 2024, but yielded no responses from other contractors. Review of previous J&As for this NSN confirmed that the situation regarding limited sources remains unchanged. The acquisition is restricted to Teledyne Controls LLC, identified as the only known source with the capability to furnish the required items. The justification has been approved by the Contracting Officer, Competition Advocate, and Head of Contracting Activity, indicating an acquisition value over $750,000 but not exceeding $100,000,000.
