This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Aviation - Huntsville contracting activity within the Army Materiel Command (AHAB).

The acquisition covers four actuator power supply units (NSN 1620-00-932-5183/114L2419-0) from The Boeing Company (CAGE 77272). The contract is a one-time buy with no options. A Sources Sought notice was posted on October 31, 2023, with a closing date of November 4, 2023, which resulted in zero inquiries, indicating no alternative sources expressed interest. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for restricting competition, with the primary basis being AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC P (data rights not owned by the Government and cannot be purchased, developed, or otherwise obtained). Additional supporting facts note that technical data has undergone full screening under the DFARS PGI 217.7506 Spare Parts Breakout Program and that the Government does not own rights to the data needed to purchase from alternative sources. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, and the estimated value falls below $750,000, requiring only Contracting Officer approval. The market survey and market research efforts comply with FAR 10 requirements, and any firm requesting a solicitation that is not SAR-approved will be referred to the Standardized Aviation and Missile Source Approval Request (SAMAR) process. The justification was signed by Jennifer Baker, Contracting Officer, on November 16, 2023.
