This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation. The contract is for a Packing Nut with NSN 4730140062972, quantity of 381 units, to be procured directly from The Boeing Company (CAGE 76301). The acquisition is being pursued under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, using the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically under Acquisition Management Code (AMC) 3, which allows direct procurement from the manufacturer.

A sources sought notice was posted on 12/13/2024 on www.sam.gov, which received no responses. The procurement will be a Definite Quantity Contract and does not include any options. The justification notes that the data needed to acquire this part is not economically available, and the government does not have sufficient technical data to permit full and open competition. The contracting officer, Annette Pruett, has certified the justification, and it is approved for contracts not exceeding $750,000. The solicitation will contain Procurement Note M06/L04 to allow interested parties to submit data and potentially reduce competition barriers.
