This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. The contract is for a Thermocouple Harness (NSN 2995-01-695-5603) with an Indefinite Quantity/Firm Fixed Price contract type for GM-151 quantity. The acquisition is for the T38 Aircraft, with Thermocontrol, Inc. (CAGE 66410) identified as the sole source. A sources sought notice was posted on 05/14/2024, but no vendors responded. The justification cites that there is one OEM and one approved source, which would result in a competitive data package that would allow the Government to develop a competitive item description. The contract requires approval at the Head of Contracting Activity level due to the value exceeding $15 million but not exceeding $100 million. The solicitation synopsis will be posted to allow other manufacturers to submit source approval packages for DLA Aviation's consideration.
