This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, NOV 2024) for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation.

The document justifies the acquisition of 394 electro-mechanical linear actuators (NSN 3010-0131566915) from a single source on a one-year firm fixed-price basis. The acquisition is restricted to two identified sources: CMR Technologies, Inc. (CAGE 62030) and MOOG, Inc. (CAGE 99932). The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition from only one or limited sources. The justification is based on AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time) and AMSC B (must be acquired from manufacturing source specified on source control drawing). A sources sought notice and RFI were posted to Contract Opportunities on 11/06/24, resulting in one company reply that was provided information to submit a Source Approval Request. A market survey was conducted via SAM.GOV with one vendor response. The anticipated cost to the Government is stated as fair and reasonable based on negotiations using historical cost and pricing data with rough price analysis. The synopsis will be posted on SAM.GOV to allow other interested manufacturers to submit source approval request packages. This justification requires Competition Advocate approval (over $750,000 not exceeding $15,000,000) and was approved by Yolanda Calvin Maupin on 1.8.24. The Contracting Officer, Bailey Mikos, certified the justification on 01/08/25.
