This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document from the Department of the Navy, DLA Aviation, for a single-source procurement action.

The Navy seeks to acquire 35 Tank Assembly Aircraft spare parts (NSN: 7RH 1680-01-568-5625 V2, P/N: (1T765) HM032-410-21) at a unit price of $547,491.00, with an expected final delivery date of August 28, 2027. The contracting activity is DLA Aviation-Philadelphia (Folder #25219-0023, PD #N0038325X1777). The justification authorizes negotiation and award through other than full and open competition under 10 USC 3204(A)(1), citing AIRMC 3 authority, which permits acquisition directly from the actual manufacturer for second or subsequent purchases when only one responsible source can satisfy requirements. The rationale identifies Robertson Fuel Systems, LLC (1T765) as the sole capable source with the technical data required to manufacture, test, and certify the part prior to unit delivery. The Navy possesses only top-level drawings but does not own rights to manufacturing data, specifications, or test equipment documentation. All available technical data has been checked and found insufficient for competition, and no Source Approval Requests have been received from other interested parties. A Request for Information/Sources Sought Notice was posted on November 3, 2025, and the contract action was synopsized on November 18, 2025, with no other sources expressing interest. The line of accounting is provided for budget tracking purposes. Multiple Navy personnel have certified the justification as legally sufficient, with approvals dated through September 1, 2026.
