This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition acquisition filed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.

The acquisition seeks to procure 687 F118 VANE, FAN, AIRCRAFT GAS TURBINE ENGINE components (NSN/PN: 2840-01-528-6138LR / 9536M26G10) under a Firm-Fixed-Price, Fixed Quantity contract with no options. The solicitation number is SPRTA1258D043, and the document identification number is FD2030-26-00100. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable and will conduct a price analysis if the proposed dollar amount exceeds the TINA threshold per IAW FAR 15.403-4. A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on July 31, 2025, with a closing date of August 7, 2025, resulting in no source replies. The sole source identified is General Electric Company (CAGE 07482), which is the only manufacturer capable of furnishing the required engine components.

The justification is supported by AMSC code "R" (Government does not own the data or rights needed to purchase the part from another source; procurement of the data or rights is uneconomical) and an "Other" category noting that the Government lacks sufficient, accurate, or legal data to purchase the part from other sources, with drawings 9536M26, 9536M73, and 9536M25 unavailable in JEDMICS or MEDALS as of June 9, 2023. The acquisition is restricted to the only source of supply known to have the capability to furnish the required supplies. This justification exceeds $15 million, requiring technical certification. The contracting officer signed the justification on September 11, 2025, the Competition Advocate approved it on September 12, 2025, and the Head of Contracting Activity approved it on the same date for a contract value over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million.
