This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. The acquisition is for Support, Structural materials with a National Stock Number (NSN) 1560-016165156, requiring 120 items for the first year and 240 items for the second year. The contract will be a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract with a two-year base period.

A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.GOV on 02/20/25 to determine market interest, but no responses were received. The document indicates that the technical data required for full and open competition is not available, and Weldmac Manufacturing Company is the only identified source. The acquisition is valued over $15 million, which requires technical certification, and will be approved by the Head of Contracting Activity. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition, specifically noting that the item is suitable for competitive acquisition for the second time and that the rights to purchase data are not owned by the government.
