The acquisition concerns 600 ring piston seals (NSN 5365-014875364) from General Electric Company (CAGE 99207). The contract is firm fixed price with no options and has an estimated total value that is redacted. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for restricting competition, specifically invoking AMSC code D (data needed to acquire the part is not economically available) and AMSC code D (the data needed to acquire this part is not economically available). A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website on December 3, 2024, resulting in one company response.

A market survey determined that new and unused government surplus was unavailable, with insufficient surplus identified for procurement purposes. Technical data rights are proprietary to General Electric Company. The justification indicates negotiations will be conducted using cost analysis with approved pricing techniques to ensure fair and reasonable pricing. The acquisition is scheduled for synopsis on or about January 6, 2025.
