This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation from Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation. The procurement is for 34 Battle, Acoustic, Son items (NSN 5845-01-498-3103) under a firm fixed-price contract. A sources sought notice was posted on 9/18/2024 with no responses received, and the acquisition is being restricted to Northrop Grumman as the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies/services.

The total estimated contract value is above $15 million but not exceeding $100 million, which requires approval from the Head of Contracting Activity. The justification cites that technical certification is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The acquisition will be synopsized on 9/25/2024, and a solicitation will be prepared to include Procurement Notes M06/L04 to allow other sources to submit source approval packages for DLA Aviation's consideration.
