CUI Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document is a CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime solicitation (SPE7M525R0013) seeking antenna supplies on a non-competitive basis.

The Government is acquiring 68 antennas (NSN 5985-01-156-6090) for use on Aircraft B-52 Stratofortress and Aircraft C-17 Airlifter systems. The procurement is structured as a Firm-Fixed Price contract with Fixed Quantity and no contract options, requesting price breaks for quantities between 40 and 80 units. The estimated base value and maximum contract value are redacted. The acquisition is restricted to Rockwell Collins (CAGE 13499 and 95105) as the only approved source, justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, specifically citing AMC 3 (second or subsequent direct acquisition from the manufacturer) and AMSC R (Government does not own data/rights to the data; uneconomical to purchase data, rights, or reverse engineer the part). The Government conducted a Sources Sought Notice on SAM.gov (3/10/2025) for five business days, receiving one response from BHPE, and performed a market survey from 3/7/2025 to 3/24/2028 contacting Rockwell Collins and Washington Foundries, with Washington Foundries indicating the item is not commercial. The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days with a synopsis date of April 28, 2025. Fair and reasonable pricing will be established through comparison of proposed prices and historical pricing data, with certified cost or pricing data requested as necessary per FAR 15.403-4. A prior justification (SPE7M525C0008) is referenced for continuity, and the document is approved by the Competition Advocate for estimated contract values exceeding $750,000.
