This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form from the Defense Logistics Agency for a sole source acquisition with limited competition. The document authorizes the acquisition of 12 flameholder afterburner components (NSN 2840-01-450-3755) from General Electric Company (CAGE 99207) on a firm fixed-price basis without options. The total estimated value is redacted. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 12 authority and is an amendment to a previous action.

The justification establishes that the requirement is restricted to General Electric Company as the only source capable of furnishing the required supplies. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from a single source when available from only one source. A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted on Contract Opportunities on 05/21/2024, yielding one response from Siegfried Consultants LLC providing SAR submittal instructions. Market research was conducted to identify surplus Government material and additional manufacturing sources, but the search was limited by General Electric's proprietary rights to technical data. The acquisition is justified under AMSC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval). The document indicates a formal solicitation will be posted on 06/10/2024 following the synopsis. Competition Advocate approval is required, and approval authority rests with the Head of Contracting Activity for contracts exceeding $20 million.
