This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form for the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation Richmond to procure 27 Windshield Panel AI units (NSN 1560-015763458/520-14072-3) from PPG Industries, Inc. (CAGE: 53117) under authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1).

The justification indicates this is a new action that will not include contract options. A sources sought notice was posted to SAM.gov on 12/31/2024, and the acquisition will be synopsized on 01/20/2025. Market research showed no vendors expressed interest besides the OEM who submitted a quote under previous solicitation SPE4A7-24-T-747A. The acquisition is restricted due to technical data not being available for full and open competition, and must be acquired directly from the manufacturer per AMC 3 and AMSC B source control drawing requirements. A formal solicitation (SF-33) will be posted to DIBBS with synopsis to allow other manufacturers to submit source approval packages. The contract value is under $750,000 and has been approved by the Contracting Officer on 01/14/2025.
