This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Form S53) for DLA Aviation's sole source procurement of 227 Nozzle Assembly units (NSN 2835-014677434) from Raytheon Technologies. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the authority for other than full and open competition, with AMC 3 indicated (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time). The acquisition is a new action under FAR Part 13.5 with no options included.

A Sources Sought notice was posted on SAM.gov on 11/18/23 with no responses received. The acquisition will be synopsized on 02/29/24. The justification indicates this is a commercial/non-developmental item, with technical data not being available to permit full and open competition. The document is signed by the Competition Advocate on 3/8/2024 and Division Chief on 3/4/2024, as the value exceeds $750,000 but is under $15 million. An alternate offer provision (52.217-9002) will be included in the solicitation to evaluate alternate sources and expand competition for future procurements.
