This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53), a federal contracting justification document submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Ogden.

The acquisition seeks to procure 15 door launchers for personnel (B-Plug) with NSN 1440-01-541-3667 on a firm fixed-price basis. The action is a new acquisition under FAR Part 15, with the total estimated dollar value redacted in the document. The sole source is The Boeing Company (CAGE 81205), and the contracting activity is OO-DLA/AUB with solicitation number SPRHA2-26-R-0005. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority, specifically AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and an additional rationale that only Boeing Company owns the data rights necessary to manufacture this NSN. A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted to Contract Opportunities on December 4, 2025, resulting in no industry responses. A market survey was conducted through RFI/SSS posted to Sam.gov, review of commercial catalogs, procurement history, and government databases, concluding there are no additional sources capable of satisfying the agency's proprietary requirements. The acquisition exceeds $15 million and requires technical certification. Approval authority is the Head of Contracting Activity, with certifications completed by the Contracting Officer (Michelle Leschke), Competition Advocate (Tyler Ouellette), and Head of Contracting Activity (Catherine Contreras) on or about February 9, 2026.
