SPE4A525R0171 Redacted JA.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JA) for a sole source contract issued by the Defense Logistics Agency. The acquisition involves procuring 5 units of SADDLE STOWAGE FLYI (NSN 1680013725195) through a 1-year firm fixed-price contract. The contract is being awarded directly to The Boeing Company under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provisions, specifically using authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for acquiring directly from the manufacturer.

Market research efforts included a review of historical contracts, the Approved Manufacturer Parts (AMPL) list, a sources sought listing, and a synopsis posting. Only one response was received during the market research phase. The justification notes that technical certification is not required since the contract value is under $15 million, and the acquisition is based on the government's inability to develop technical data to permit full and open competition. The contracting officer, Annette Pruett, has certified the document's accuracy, with approval set for 5/28/25.
