BEARING, VALVE

The contract pertains to the sole-source acquisition of a Bearing, Valve (NSN 3110-01-010-0356) under an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a five-year base period and potential options for increased quantities and term extensions, awarded to Jamaica Bearings (CAGE 04836) due to insufficient market competition. This procurement was justified under FAR 6.302-1 and statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), following a Sources Sought notice issued on January 12, 2026, which yielded only one responsive source. Technical data necessary to support full and open competition is unavailable and not reasonably developable, precluding alternate supplier participation. The place of performance is established in Richmond, Virginia, with DLA Weapons Support acting as the contracting office, and final acceptance is expected to occur at this location. While the contract includes provisions for option quantities, the total estimated value remains unquantified, with no completed pricing structure, CLINs, or unit cost data provided in the documentation. Contract administration is overseen by Herbert Davis, Contracting Officer, reachable at Herbert.Davis@dla.mil, though no COR, COTR, or PCO contacts are identified. No specific packaging, inspection, quality standards, or invoicing protocols are detailed, and while certification by technical personnel and contracting officials is required under FAR 6.303-2 and 6.304, no formal representations or socioeconomic certifications from the offeror are documented. The absence of structured clauses, evaluation factors, or detailed terms indicates this document primarily serves as a Justification and Approval for other than full and open competition rather than a fully executed contract instrument.
