This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) seeking to acquire 22 gearshafts (NSN 3040011622190) through a firm-fixed-price contract. The acquisition is being pursued as a sole source procurement under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically citing AMC 3 (acquiring directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC P (rights to purchase data are not owned by the government). A sources sought notice was posted on 03/04/2025, which resulted in no responses received. The market research efforts included reviewing historical contracts, the AMPL for approved sources, conducting a sources sought listing, and a synopsis posting. The procurement is for Boeing, with the document noting that technical certification is required due to technical data limitations and the inability to develop full and open competition requirements. The total estimated contract value is redacted, but the approval level is for contracts not exceeding $750,000, requiring only the Contracting Officer's approval.
