S53 JA SPE4A525R0117 Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition procurement document issued by DLA Aviation (Aviation/Richmond/FMA) on March 26, 2025, for solicitation number SPE4A523R0117.

The acquisition seeks to procure 73 valve flow control units (NSN 4810-0145472263) from Honeywell International Inc. (CAGE 59364) on a one-year fixed price contract basis without options. The estimated contract value is redacted. The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition directly from the manufacturer on a second or subsequent purchase basis (AMC 3). A sources sought notice was posted on Contract Opportunities on March 4, 2025, resulting in one vendor response; companies were offered the opportunity to submit Source Approval Requests or requests for traceability. A market survey was conducted and published on SAM.GOV, with one vendor response. The justification indicates that technical certification is on file, technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and the data presently available reflects the government's minimum needs. The acquisition will be synopsized on SAM.GOV to allow interested manufacturers to submit source approval request packages for DLA's consideration. The contracting officer (Bailey Mikos) certified the justification on March 26, 2025; the competition advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin) approved on March 26, 2025. The estimated contract value falls in the $750,000 to $15 million range, requiring competition advocate approval.
