This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document from the Department of the Navy, DLA Aviation, seeking to procure aircraft fuel tank spares through a non-competitive contract award.

The procurement involves the acquisition of 70 units of tank/fuel aircraft spares (NSN 1560-011293799, P/N 65317-08059-101 & 2F1-6-42661) with no contract options. The contracting activity is DLA Aviation-Philadelphia (Folder #25065-0035, PD #N0038325X0992). The statutory authority cited is 10 USC 3204(A)(1), permitting other than full and open competition when only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The rationale invokes AIRMSC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AIRMSC C, emphasizing that this part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality. The item has been designated a Critical Safety Item (CSI), limiting qualified sources to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (78286) and Rockmart Fuel Containment (56221), who are the only approved manufacturers with required technical data. Market research was conducted on the government-wide point of entry (08/02/2025) with no other sources expressing interest. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. Future competition will be encouraged through vendor engagement for technical data package submission and source approval. The document includes multiple approvals from requirements cognizance, technical cognizance, source validation, contracting officer, competition advocacy, and legal sufficiency representatives, with final approval dated 10/07/2026.
