SPE4A525R0203_Redacted1.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, NOV 2024) for a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 15. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation/Richmond FMAB is acquiring 33 Housing Matched Sets (NSN 1680015446603, PN 2210527-2) from Honeywell International Inc. (CAGE 70210) under solicitation number SPE4A523R0203. The acquisition is structured as a 1-year firm fixed price contract with no options, and the total estimated dollar value is redacted.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for restricting competition to a sole source. The approved AMSC codes are AMSC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (engineering source approval required to maintain part quality). A sources sought notice/RFI was posted on SAM.GOV on 07/09/2025, resulting in 1 reply. The justification indicates that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and that available data reflects minimum government needs. The market survey identified BHPE LLC's (CAGE 9SWS7) interest in the acquisition. Actions to overcome barriers to competition include posting the synopsis in beta SAM to allow other manufacturers to submit source approval request packages. The Contracting Officer (TaMirra Nelson) and Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin) certified the justification on 7/29/25 and 8/6/25 respectively. Approval authority is the Competition Advocate for amounts over $750,000 but not exceeding $15 million.
