This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the Defense Logistics Agency's Aviation-Richmond contracting activity. The solicitation is for 482 Blade, Turbine Rotor parts (NSN 2840-01-666-1765) with a firm fixed price contract type. The acquisition is specifically for General Electric Company, with the government determining the technical data is not economically available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition.

Market research was conducted, revealing insufficient government surplus availability and that the technical data rights are proprietary to General Electric. The J&A cites Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13.5 and indicates a sources sought notice was posted on 09/19/2025. The contract requires technical certification for acquisitions over $15 million, and negotiations will be conducted using sales services and price comparison. The document is signed by the Contracting Officer (Crystal Lloyd) and Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin), with approval levels indicating the contract value is over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million.
