This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation Supply Chain in Richmond. The contract is for 30 skin aircraft components with NSN 1560-017140428/167307-808, classified as a large buy RFP. BHPE LLC (CAGE 9SWS7) was the only vendor identified through a sources sought synopsis posted on beta.SAM.gov, and a SARS package was sent to the vendor. The acquisition is justified due to technical certification data not being available to permit full and open competition, with the solicitation including procurement notes to enhance future competition and permit other vendors to submit a SAR Packet.

The document indicates the contract is not exceeding $750,000 and will be approved by the Contracting Officer. The acquisition is being made under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which allows for procurement from a limited number of sources. The market research efforts included a sources sought synopsis, with BHPE LLC expressing the only interest, and no other vendors responding to the notice. The document is structured to justify the sole source procurement and outline the steps taken to ensure potential competition in future acquisitions.
