S53 JA_25R0076_redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Form AVN S53) submitted by DLA Aviation for the sole source procurement of Shield, Heat, Flap Control Surfaces (NSN 1560-00-312-7827) from Thermal Structures. The acquisition is for 2 each GM and 8 each EAQ units under an Indefinite Quantity/Firm Fixed Price contract with no options included.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority and is based on acquiring directly from the manufacturer for a subsequent purchase (AMC 3), with data not being economically available (AMSC D). A sources sought notice was posted on 10/16/2024 with no vendors responding. The acquisition was not synopsized due to being an OEM part with no other approved sources. The total estimated value is classified as CUI. The justification was approved at the Contracting Officer level (under $750,000) and signed on 10/21/2024. DLA Aviation plans to post a synopsis so other manufacturers can submit source approval packages for future consideration.
