This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. The procurement is for a Ground Strap Assemb with National Stock Number (NSN) 1560-011618352, with an estimated quantity of 1,200 units over a 5-year period. The contract will be a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract.

A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.GOV on 01/29/25 to determine market interest, but no responses were received. The single source of supply is Associated Aircraft Manufacturing (CAGE 56540), with the justification based on AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval by the design control activity). The document indicates that technical certification data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and a market survey was conducted with no additional interested firms identified.
