This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) bridge contract for the C-5M aircraft fleet. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/WLSK) is seeking a sole-source contract with a specific vendor to continue critical sustainment and logistical support services for the C-5M aircraft, which has been modified by the Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) and Reliability Enhancement and Re-engineering Program (RERP).

The proposed contract is a bridge effort to maintain continuous support until the CLS IV follow-on contract is awarded, with a performance period from 01 June 2025 to 31 May 2026. The vendor will provide comprehensive logistics support including supply chain management, spare parts management, inventory control, warranty administration, and maintenance of base-level spares. The J&A emphasizes that the selected vendor is the only source capable of providing these specialized services due to proprietary technical data and intellectual property rights, with a market research process confirming no other vendors can meet the unique military requirements for the C-5M fleet's sustainment.
