7a. Redacted J&A.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. The contract is for 127 Gearbox Assembly, AI units with a National Stock Number (NSN) of 1680-01450600, to be procured from Curtiss-Wright Controls Inc. using a firm fixed-price contract type. The acquisition is being justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time, and because the technical data required is not economically available or cannot be developed to permit full and open competition.

Market research was conducted, including a query of ISmart that revealed insufficient government surplus material, and a sources sought notice was posted on 10/11/2023. No alternate offer interest was received. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, with the contract requiring Head of Contracting Activity approval due to the value being over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million. The document includes approvals from the Contracting Officer, Competition Advocate, and DLA Counsel, with digital signatures from Marisa Berestecky and Yolanda Calvin Maupin dated 10/18/2023 and 10/19/2023 respectively.
