This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) issued by the Department of the Navy, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation in Philadelphia.

The contracting activity seeks to procure 55 aircraft fuel tank spares (Part Number 320-4-50163-107, NSN 7RH 1560 015317578 QE) through other than full and open competition, with an expected final delivery date of December 29, 2028. The acquisition will be solicited solely to Axillon Aerospace (Rockmart), LLC (CAGE Code 56221), which has been designated as a Critical Safety Item (CSI). The justification is based on 10 USC 3204(A)(1), permitting single-source procurement when only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The statutory authority cites the requirement to acquire directly from the actual manufacturer and engineering source approval provisions (AIRMC 3 and AIRMSC C), as Axillon Aerospace is the only approved manufacturing source with the technical data, engineering documentation, and manufacturing/repair knowledge necessary to maintain quality and design control. Market research confirmed no other sources expressed interest, and Source Approval Request filings indicate no competing sources are available. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. The action is marked as CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) and was created on August 4, 2026, with contracting officer certification dated August 5, 2026.
