This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53), filed under FAR Part 15, for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.

The acquisition involves the procurement of 18 servocylinders (NSN: 1650-01-045-1019, P/N: 2022032-1-1) on a firm-fixed-price basis with no options included. The estimated value is withheld in the document. The sole source award is designated for MOOG Military Aircraft LLC (CAGE: 0ZWK8). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition, specifically under AMSC B (acquisition from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing, 16VM003005-1) and an "Other" rationale noting that the part must be acquired from a manufacturing source per drawing 16VM003005-1, with data rights requested on September 9, 2025, as the vendor declined to provide data rights, and noting that suitable technical data, government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are unavailable to permit acquisition from other sources or qualification testing of another part.

A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.gov on February 27, 2024, with a closing date of March 5, 2024, resulting in no responses. Market research was conducted by a multi-functional team on February 27, 2024, finding no other manufacturers of similar items with available data rights. The Competition Advocate approved the justification on October 9, 2025, and the Contracting Officer (Ryan Newton) certified the information on the same date. The acquisition synopsis is scheduled for May 20, 2024.
