This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The acquisition is for a PANEL, STRUCTURAL, A1 item with NSN 1560-01-643-2129, quantity of 3 each for GM and 12 each for EAQ. The contract type is Indefinite Quantity/Firm Fixed Price. A sources sought notice was posted on 04/09/2025, but no vendors responded. The acquisition is being made directly from the manufacturer (AMC 3) and requires technical certification because the technical data is not available to permit full and open competition. The procurement is for an NSN deemed a SAR (Special Approval Required) package that must become an approved source. The contract value is over $15 million but under $100 million, requiring approval from the Head of Contracting Activity. The acquisition is restricted to the only known source capable of providing the required supplies/services.
