This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation from Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation. The procurement is for 19 Trim Control Panels with a National Stock Number (NSN) 1680-01-581-7938, using a firm fixed price contract. A sources sought notice was posted on 7/01/2025 with no responses received, and the acquisition is being made directly from the manufacturer under AMC 3 and AMSC D authority, which indicates the data needed is not economically available.

The contract is over $15 million but under $100 million, requiring approval from the Head of Contracting Activity. The market research efforts included posting a synopsis to SAM.gov to notify vendors, with no vendors responding. The justification notes that technical certification data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The material is sole sourced to Northrop Grumman (CAGE 70974) and is anticipated to be awarded against a basic ordering agreement (BOA), with a solicitation to be prepared for DLA Aviation's consideration.
