This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for DLA Aviation, seeking to acquire 6 Guy Protector items from The Boeing Company. The acquisition is a firm fixed-price contract, with the statutory authority based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically citing AMC 3 (acquiring directly from the manufacturer). A sources sought notice was posted on 7/1/25, which resulted in one response received. The market research efforts included reviewing historical contracts, the AMPL for approved sources, and a synopsis posting. The key rationale for limited competition is that technical certification data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The contract value falls in the range over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million, requiring approval from the Head of Contacting Activity and necessitating technical certification.
