This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document for a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime acquisition using the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

The contracting activity is DLA Land and Maritime, seeking to acquire 100 units of thermal batteries (NSN 6135-01619182/P/N 6186100) for the Eagle F-15 aircraft. The contract type is firm-fixed price with fixed quantity and no option. The acquisition is restricted to a single source due to form, fit, and functional interchangeability requirements with currently used end items. The sole approved source identified is Chemring Energetic Devices Inc. (CAGE 93455), as the only source currently approved by the design control activity. The justification cites AMSC D as the basis, indicating that competitive data is not physically available and adequate specifications cannot be drafted. Market research efforts included a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov on August 12, 2025 for five business days (yielding no responses), a market survey conducted July 16 and August 21, 2025 contacting Integrated Procurement Technologies and Chemring Energetic Devices Inc. (with no vendors responding), and a general internet search (yielding no results). The estimated base value and maximum contract value are redacted. The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days, synopsized on approximately August 26, 2025 for 15 days. The acquisition value exceeds $750,000 but is under $15,000,000, requiring Competition Advocate approval. The Contracting Officer (Jacob Randa McGee) and Competition Advocate (William Melendez) have certified and approved the justification.
