This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source contract issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The acquisition involves Wire, Aircraft, Mater with a National Stock Number (NSN) 1680-014931981, with an estimated 5-year quantity of 30,000 and a total estimated value that is redacted. The contract will be a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-Year Base Period and no options.

The justification indicates that a sources sought notice was posted on SAM.GOV on 08/22/2024 to maximize competition, with BHPE (TE Connectivity Corporation) expressing interest. The acquisition is being restricted to the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies/services. The market research was conducted through a sources sought notice, and the technical certification indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The contract requires approval at the Contracting Officer level, as it does not exceed $750,000, and has been reviewed by DLA Counsel Aviation for legal sufficiency.
