SPE4A525R0162_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation.

The acquisition concerns the procurement of a Parts Kit, Control (NSN: 1560-01-561-3508, Part Number: CA64524-002) in a quantity of 31 units. The solicitation number is SPE4A525R0162, with the document identification number 7010288123. This is a firm fixed-price contract with no options included. The contracting activity is FMAB, and the agency is DLA Aviation. The sole source has been identified as Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing Inc. (CAGE Code 45934). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for sole source procurement, specifically AMC 4 (acquire for the first time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC P (the rights to use data needed to purchase this part from additional sources are not owned by the Government and cannot be purchased, developed, or otherwise obtained).

The acquisition efforts to improve competition included posting a Request for Information (RFI) to Contract Opportunities on 04/18/2025, which resulted in no response. A market survey was conducted with sources published on SAM.GOV, but no vendors responded. The synopsis is scheduled for 04/24/2025, and any firm requesting a solicitation copy will be provided one. The justification notes that a synopsis will be posted on SAM.GOV so other manufacturers interested can submit source approval request packages for DLA Aviation's consideration. The Competition Advocate has approved this justification for a contract valued over $750,000 but not exceeding $15 million.
