This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53, October 2025).

The document justifies a limited competition acquisition by DLA Weapon Support-Aviation (FAZC) for cable assemblies (NSN/PN 5995-01470272), with a quantity of 1,794 units and an estimated surge quantity of 15 units. The acquisition is structured as a 5-year indefinite quantity contract without options. The contracting activity has determined that full and open competition is not feasible based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition from available sources only. A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted on Contract Opportunities on October 31, 2025, but no responses were received. The three identified suppliers capable of furnishing the required cable assemblies are DCX-CHOL Enterprises Inc (CAGE 27456), L3Harris Technologies Inc (CAGE 91417), and Oshkosh Defense LLC (CAGE 75Q65). The justification cites two controlling factors: the material has three approved sources, and the Government does not own the data necessary to make the material fully competitive. A market survey was conducted with firms indicating interest in the acquisition, and the anticipated cost to the Government is determined to be fair and reasonable. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about November 5, 2025, with solicitation copies provided to interested parties. Competition Advocate approval and Head of Contracting Activity approval for the estimated contract value between $20 million and $150 million have been obtained.
