Redacted J A.pdf

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

The document justifies a single-source award to Moog, Inc. (CAGE Code 0ZWK8, 94697) for the procurement of 16 RH Wingfold Transmissions (NSN 1680-016928299, P/N 2741390-6-3), classified as a Critical Safety Item (CSI). The contracting activity is DLA Aviation-Philadelphia (Folder #25073-0010), with an expected final delivery date of March 20, 2028. The statutory authority cited is 10 USC 3204(A)(1), permitting limited competition when only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The justification invokes AIRMSC rationale "C," which permits acquisition directly from the actual manufacturer when the part requires engineering source approval to maintain quality, and the source retains data and manufacturing knowledge not economically available to the government. Market research confirmed that Moog, Inc. is the only approved source with the required technical data and capability to manufacture, test, and certify the item prior to delivery. No other sources expressed interest in the solicitation when posted on the government-wide point of entry on April 19, 2025. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. The J&A was created on August 8, 2025, and received final certification from the competition advocate on August 26, 2025.
