This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source procurement by DLA Aviation. The acquisition is for an ACCELEROMETER, ELECT (NSN 6680-01-616-1452) with an estimated quantity of EAD/MAX 253 units, procured through an Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-year base period. The contract will be awarded to Dytran Instruments, Inc. (CAGE 2W033), with the primary justification being that the technical data required is not economically available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition.

A sources sought notice was published on 5/19/2025, which received one response from BHPE LLC (CAGE 9SWS7). The procurement requires technical certification for acquisitions over $15 million, and the approval level is designated for the Head of Contracting Activity. The document indicates that the solicitation will be posted to allow other manufacturers to submit approval packages, and any responses received after the deadline will be considered for future buys. The contracting officer, Herbert Davis, and the Competition Advocate, Yolanda Calvin Maupin, have reviewed and certified the accuracy and completeness of the justification.
