Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the sole source acquisition of Bearing, Ball, Annular (NSN: 3110-01-479-0255, PN: 2686237) for F-15 Aircraft. This acquisition, for a quantity of 1,681 EA, is restricted to Honeywell International Inc. due to limited available data and the item being available from only one source.

Opportunity Details

This document justifies the procurement of a commercial off-the-shelf "Bearing, Ball, Annular" on a sole source basis. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with the specific reasons being that the necessary data is not economically available (AMSC D) and the Government lacks sufficient, accurate, or legible data to purchase from other sources (AMSC H). A previous sources sought notice posted on SAM.gov on September 15, 2025, yielded no vendor responses.

Contract & Acquisition Strategy

Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price.
Potential Options: The acquisition may include an option for increased quantity or an option to extend the term.
Estimated Value: Not explicitly stated, but falls under the Contracting Officer's approval level of "not exceeding $750,000."
Sole Source Provider: Honeywell International Inc. (CAGE 06848).

Response & Future Competition

While this is a sole source justification, DLA Aviation is actively working to overcome barriers to competition. A combined synopsis will be posted on SAM.gov around September 23, 2025. The subsequent solicitation will include Procurement Notes M06/L04, enabling other interested firms to submit source approval packages for DLA Aviation's consideration. Any firm requesting a solicitation copy will be provided one.
