About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a federal contract solicitation by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime. The solicitation (SPE7M524R0014) is for a Transformer, Power Autotransformer (NSN 5950-00-583-0912) used on the B-52 Stratofortress aircraft. The contract is a firm fixed-price, definite quantity contract with an estimated delivery of 271 days and will be sourced from two approved manufacturers: Boeing Company and OECO.

The justification indicates the item is not a commercial product and requires engineering source approval to maintain part quality. The procurement is limited to two sources due to unique design capabilities and data rights. The government conducted market research, including a sources sought notice and market surveys, and determined that Boeing and OECO are the only sources with the rights and technical knowledge to manufacture the transformer. The estimated contract value is not explicitly stated, but the document notes it will not exceed the Truth in Negotiations Act (TINA) threshold of $2.0 million. The solicitation is planned to be synopsized on SAM.gov on November 18, 2024, with a 30-day solicitation period on the DLA Internet Bid Board (DIBBS).

An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. If one source is approved, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are approved or if data is adequate for an alternate source to qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.
