CUP, TAPERED ROLLER

The contract concerns the sole-source procurement of a tapered roller cup with NSN 3110-01-383-6897 under an Indefinite Quantity Contract for a five-year base period, issued by DLA Aviation through its DLA Weapons Support office in Richmond, Virginia. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.303-2(c) due to the unavailability of technical data and source control constraints tied to a proprietary, non-government drawing identified under AMSC B, limiting qualified suppliers to Jamaica Bearings, identified by CAGE code 04836. No competitive bidding is permitted, and the estimated quantity is 743 units, though all pricing details including unit cost, extended value, and total contract value are placeholder blanks. The contract includes options for increasing quantities and extending the term in monthly increments, but the scope and value of these options are not quantified. Performance, delivery, and inspection are centered at Richmond, Virginia, with no explicit FOB terms or inspection criteria provided, relying instead on source control and manufacturer conformity. Technical certification is required due to the acquisition’s potential to exceed $15 million, and documentation such as the waiver of sources sought notice and the list of NSNs and AMSC codes must be submitted, though they are not formally itemized as attachments. The Contracting Officer is Herbert Davis, certified March 9, 2026, with Yolanda Calvin Maupin serving as Competition Advocate; no COR or COTR is designated. CUI is marked as FED Only, and no packaging, marking, preservation standards, or barcoding requirements are specified. No formal evaluation factors, representations, or submission instructions were provided, and all financial, technical, and administrative details remain incomplete, consistent with pre-award justification documentation pending final pricing and award.
