This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation Ogden. The procurement involves 37 Brake Control Valves with NSN 4820-00-346-4324LE, to be acquired directly from Eaton Aerospace as the sole source. The acquisition is a firm fixed-price contract, and market research conducted through search engines found no viable commercial alternatives for the F-15 brake control valve.

Key details include a sources sought notice posted on 2/27/2025 which received no industry responses, and a data request sent to Eaton Aerospace on 3/13/2025 resulted in the company indicating they are unwilling to sell/license their proprietary manufacturing data to the government. The justification is based on the fact that only Eaton owns complete data to manufacture the subject National Stock Number (NSN). The contract is valued over $15 million but under $100 million, requiring approval from the Head of Contracting Activity, and is being processed under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15 procedures.
