The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is seeking to procure internal combustion engine pistons, specifically NSN 2815-01-522-4828, under a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition. This procurement is critical as the pistons are essential components for Colt Pielstick Diesel Engines utilized in LPD-17 Class Amphibious Transport Dock ships, with Fairbanks Morse, LLC identified as the sole approved manufacturing source due to the lack of technical data and rights for alternative suppliers. The DLA has confirmed the commerciality of the item and is actively pursuing additional sourcing options, while interested parties can reach out to Kelly Cottongim at 614-692-7122 or via email at kelly.cottongim@dla.mil for further information.
