This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. The acquisition involves a Cartridge Assembly with NSN 2915001235188, quantity of 433 units, under a Full and Open Large Buy RFP. The contract is being pursued as a sole source action under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval) cited as justification.

A sources sought synopsis was posted on beta.SAM.gov on 4/18/2024, with no vendors responding to the notice. The market research indicates that technical certification is not available and technical data cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The approval levels for this justification require Head of Contracting Activity approval due to the contract value being over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million. The solicitation will include procurement notes to enhance future competition, and there is no previous Joint Acquisition (J&A) for this opportunity.
