This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI document) filed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation for a sole source acquisition.

The acquisition concerns bellows and transducers (NSN 2915-01-463-7650), with a quantity of 20 units for government maintenance (GM) and 80 units for equipment and other (EAO). The contract type is indefinite quantity with firm fixed price, and no options are included. The solicitation number is SPE4A725R0583. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority, specifically AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (engineering source approval required to maintain part quality). A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted on 05/05/2025 with no vendor responses. The acquisition is restricted because there is only one OEM and one approved source that would result in receipt of a competitive package; an NSN is deemed IC (item controlled) and a Source Approval Request (SAR) package is required for approval. The document indicates that cost and price data will be required for certification if the threshold is breached. Two contractors are identified with interest: General Electric (CAGE 07482) and Unison (CAGE 59501). The anticipated cost to the government is deemed fair and reasonable. The justification was approved by the Competition Advocate on 5.12.25 for an estimated value exceeding $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000.
