This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) for a sole source acquisition by DLA Weapon Support-Aviation. The acquisition covers a Beacon Set Radio (NSN 5826-310187735, quantity MCQ 864) from ELBIT SYSTEMS C4I AND CYBER (CAGE 3686A). The action is a new acquisition under FAR Part 15, with an estimated contract value between $900,000 and $20,000,000, structured as a 5-year indefinite quantity contract with no options.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority, with AMSC 3 and AMSC Z selected as the acquisition codes, indicating this is a second or subsequent direct manufacturer purchase of a commercial/off-the-shelf item. Competition avoidance is justified on the basis that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and the material has only one approved source. A sources sought notice (RFI) was posted on www.sam.gov on August 15, 2025, and OEM CAGE 3686A confirmed dealer quote availability. A market survey was conducted on the same date. The document indicates procurement notes M06L04 will be included to allow interested parties to submit data for evaluation to reduce future competition barriers. The Contracting Officer determined fair and reasonable pricing. Approval is assigned to the Competition Advocate for contracts between $900,000 and $20,000,000, and the justification has been signed by both the Contracting Officer (Adrienne Davis, dated 10/24/2025) and Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin, dated 10/30/2025).
