About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document for an indefinite quantity contract procurement.
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is acquiring spare parts for military aviation life support and communication systems under solicitation SPE7MX25R0013. The contract covers three items: Hose Assembly Air Breathing, Hose Air Breathing, and Microphone Magnetic, which support B-2 Bomber, Galaxy C-5, F-16, Airlift C-17A, and OSPREY V-22A aircraft. The five-year firm-fixed-price indefinite-quantity contract has a one-year base period with four one-year option periods. Market research conducted from October 2024 through February 2025 identified only one source capable of supplying the required parts: GENTEX CORPORATION (CAGE 60240). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority based on AMSC codes indicating the data needed for competitive acquisition is not physically available, cannot be obtained economically, and proprietary rights prevent competitive solicitation. GENTEX indicated they are the manufacturer and do not consider these non-commercial products. The contracting officer determined costs will be fair and reasonable through certified cost/pricing data, audit, and analysis including historical pricing, Producer Price Index, and learning curve analysis. The acquisition will be synopsized for 15 days and posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board for a minimum of 30 days. The Competition Advocate approved this justification, which exceeded the $750,000 approval threshold requiring Competition Advocate certification.
