This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form for a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 15.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support in Richmond is acquiring Insulation Blankets (NSN 1680-015818998) on a non-competitive basis from The Boeing Company and PAR Defense Industries. The acquisition includes an estimated quantity of 40 units for the first year and 200 units over a 5-year period. The contract type is a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a 5-year base period and no options. The estimated total value is redacted.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority for limited competition, specifically under AMSC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for second or subsequent time) and AMSC P (rights to use data needed to purchase the part from additional sources are not owned by the Government and cannot be purchased, developed, or otherwise obtained). A sources sought notice and RFI were posted on SAM.GOV on 06/16/26 with no responses received. The solicitation is planned for 06/26/26. The justification confirms that fair and reasonable pricing is anticipated based on historical prices and engineering analysis. The Contracting Officer, Ryan Loeffelholz, approved the justification on 06/16/2026 under the $10 million or below approval threshold. Actions to reduce barriers to future competition include posting a sources sought notice and including procurement notes in the solicitation to allow alternative sources to submit data for evaluation.
