This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The acquisition is for a TRANSPARENCY, CANOPY item with NSN 1560-01-649-9440, quantity of 10 each, for the V-22A aircraft. The contract is an indefinite quantity, firm fixed price type with no option for increased quantity. A sources sought notice was posted on 11/29/2024, but no vendors responded. The justification is based on AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval by design control activity). The contract value falls in the $15-100 million range, requiring approval from the Head of Contracting Activity. The procurement notes that the NSN is deemed an IC SAR package required to become an approved source, and a synopsis will be posted to allow other manufacturers to submit source approval packages.
