PUMP, RECIPROCATING

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, has issued a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity contract for the procurement of 17 reciprocating pumps, identified by NSN 4320-00-864-8677 and part number DS-961232. The contract was awarded to Eaton Aerospace LLC, CAGE code 90166, as a sole-source procurement under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. This non-competitive action was justified because Eaton Aerospace LLC is the original equipment manufacturer and the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency's requirements due to proprietary technical data and a lack of available competitive alternatives. The place of performance for this acquisition is located in Jackson, Mississippi. While the contract is for a fixed quantity of 17 units, it explicitly excludes any options for increased quantity. Price reasonableness is evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.403-4 to ensure fair pricing despite the lack of competition. The procurement process included market research and a sources sought notice, neither of which yielded any other interested or capable vendors.
