AMENDED Redacted JA.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53, NOV 2024).

The Defense Logistics Agency is pursuing an amendment to change the solicitation procedure from FAR Part 15 to FAR Part 12 for solicitation number SPRA1-25-R-0058. The acquisition involves control unit and supervisory supplies/services with NSN/PN 2995-01-680-3143 / 415ST12P10, with a quantity range of 331 to 1,500 units and an estimated value that is redacted. The contract type is a three-year firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) arrangement with no options included. The statutory authority for sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or limited number of sources.

The justification indicates that a sources sought notice or RFI was posted on Contract Opportunities on 09MAY2025, resulting in one interested party: BHPE LLC (CAGE 9SWS7), which was encouraged to seek source approval. The only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies is identified by two CAGE codes: Triumph Engine Control Systems (11599) and General Electric (GE) Company (99207). The acquisition is restricted to the sole source based on AMC 2 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the first time) and AMC Q (Government does not have adequate data, lacks rights to data, or both; it is not economical to buy the data or rights to the data). A market survey was conducted to solicit manufacturers of similar products and dealers. The justification was approved by the Head of Contracting Activity for a contract exceeding $15 million but not exceeding $100 million, and is dated 23 May 2025.
