This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source contract issued by DLA Aviation. The acquisition is for a CONTROLLER, MISSILE with NSN 1450-015324372, quantity MCQ 18, for a 5-year indefinite quantity contract. R&D Electronics, Inc. was identified as the sole source after a sources sought notice was posted on 07/25/24 on www.sam.gov, with the company confirming they will quote. The technical justification indicates that the material has two approved sources (CAGE 61434/64059), but the government does not own sufficient data to make the material fully competitive. The contract is not exceeding $750,000 and will be approved by the Contracting Officer, with a planned acquisition date of about August 5, 2024.

The document details efforts to ensure competition, including a market survey and sources sought notice. The acquisition is being justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time. The primary justification is that based on the technical certification, technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and the data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government.
