This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole source procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. The acquisition is for 317 Grip Assembly, Main components (NSN 1615-016068594) from Bell Textron, with a contract defined quantity dated July 26, 2024. The procurement is being pursued under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, with AMC 3 authority (acquire directly from the manufacturer) and AMC P justification (data rights not owned by the government).

Market research was conducted through a sources sought notice posted on SAM.gov, which resulted in no responses. Bell Textron advised this is a commercial item and will offer a discounted price. The technical justification indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The contract requires approval levels based on the contract value, with signatures required from the Contracting Officer, Competition Advocate, and Head of Contracting Activity. The document is marked as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and follows the standard federal justification process for a limited competition procurement.
