This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) form AVN Form S53 from DLA Aviation for the sole source procurement of Ring Assembly Outer (NSN: 1615004749151, P/N: 204-011-403-001/204-011-403-1) with a quantity of 222 each. The acquisition is a new action under a firm-fixed-price contract with no options.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the authority, with Bell Textron, Inc. (CAGE: 97499) identified as the source. The rationale includes AMC 3 (acquiring directly from manufacturer for second/subsequent time) and AMSC C (engineering source approval required). A Sources Sought notice was posted on 02/23/24 with no interest received. The acquisition will be synopsized on 02/29/24. No market survey was conducted as the item is limited to the approved source. The OEM is unwilling to sell data rights to the Government, making reverse engineering cost-prohibited and preventing full and open competition.
