This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Aviation). The procurement is for 6 Cylinder Assembly A units with a National Stock Number (NSN) 1650-016255933, to be acquired from Parker-Hannifin Corporation. The contract will be a firm fixed price type with no additional options. The acquisition is being conducted under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which allows procurement from a single source. A sources sought notice was posted on 07/15/2025, with BHPE LLC expressing interest and being sent instructions to submit a SAR Package. The market research determined that technical data is proprietary to Parker-Hannifin Corporation, and they were the only vendor who responded to the sources sought notice. The justification indicates that the technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, necessitating a sole source procurement.

The document requires approval for a contract value over $15 million but under $100 million, which will be approved by the Head of Contracting Activity. The Contracting Officer (Kizzy Brinkley) and Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin) have certified the accuracy of the information. The procurement strategy includes posting a sources sought notice, conducting market research, and being prepared to publish a solicitation with procurement notes L04 and M06 if another valid source is found. The contract is controlled by DLA Aviation, with a distribution/dissemination category.
