About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) for a limited source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Columbus.
The solicitation (SPE7L12Q0548) seeks 159 units of a gear set spur match (NSN 3020-00-875-7027) for the B-52 Stratofortress aircraft. The acquisition is restricted to Triumph Engine Control Systems LLC (CAGE 11599) as the sole approved source based on AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from manufacturer) and AMSC P (Government lacks data rights and reverse engineering is uneconomical). The contract type is firm-fixed price with no options. Estimated values are redacted in the document. The statutory authority for this sole-source acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The contracting activity determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable, with pricing analysis to be conducted through comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid and potential certified cost or pricing data submission per FAR 15.403-4. Efforts to obtain competition include posting a Sources Sought Notice to SAM.gov on 8/26/2025 for five business days, conducting a market survey the same date, synopsizing on approximately 12/18/2025 for one day, soliciting dealers, and posting to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 10 days. Market research found no other potential manufacturing sources. The contracting officer signed the certification on 12/19/2025, and approval authority is the Competition Advocate for acquisitions exceeding $900,000.
