4.3 5445 J&A Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) document for a single-source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime.

The acquisition concerns 269 kit quantities of electrochemical parts (NSN 3010016671438, P/N J16116-700) for an overhaul kit for the Patriot Launcher weapon system. The contract is firm-fixed price with a fixed quantity and 50% option. The sole source is Beaver Aerospace & Defense Inc (CAGE 088K1). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority under AMSC 3, based on the requirement to acquire supplies for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer. The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, cannot be obtained economically, and adequate specifications cannot be drafted due to restricted source data. A Product Specialist certified the accuracy of the approved source and applicable AMC/AMSC codes on October 1, 2025.

Market research efforts included posting a Sources Sought Notice to SAM.gov on October 6, 2025, for five business days, conducting a market survey on the same date, contacting vendors at Beaver Aerospace & Defense Inc, and reviewing procurement history and conducting general internet searches—all yielding no alternative sources. The solicitation is scheduled for approximately October 28, 2025, for 15 days, with posting to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days. The justification includes DLAD Procurement Note L04 for alternate offers and encourages vendors to pursue source approval through the DLA Source Approval Monitor. The Contracting Officer (Whiting Monic) certified the information as accurate, with Competition Advocate approval required for estimated contract values over $900,000 to $20,000,000. Technical certification is attached.
