JA - 26R0392_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53, March 2026), submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support under DLA Richmond FAQE.

The acquisition seeks to procure Fuel Injection Nozzles (NSN 2915-0149939532) in quantities of 40 and 80 units each. The acquisition is structured as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) for a 5-year base period with no options. The statutory authority for this limited competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition from only one or limited number of sources. Three identified sources with known capability are CAGE codes 55261 (RTX), 77445 (RTX), and 65065 (Woodward FST, Inc).

The justification is based on technical requirements including AMSC C (engineering source approval required for design control) and technical data availability constraints. A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) was posted on Contract Opportunities on 01/27/2026, but no contractors responded. The contracting officer determined that anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable based on historical pricing analysis and comparable items. A market survey was conducted with firms indicating interest in the acquisition, and approved sources were contacted. The solicitation synopsis is scheduled for 03/17/2026, with solicitation copies available upon request. One source, Woodward FST, Inc (CAGE 65065), has indicated interest in writing. Actions to overcome competition barriers include posting a sources sought notice, presolicitation synopsis, and Procurement Notes 1.04 and M.06 to allow potential new sources to submit evaluation data. The Contracting Officer approved this justification on 03/24/2026.
