This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, NOV 2024) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency.

The acquisition involves 33 electron tube-yokes (NSN 1280-01089980, P/N 4038074-901) from Honeywell International Inc. (CAGE 07187). The contract is structured as a 1-year fixed price procurement with no options. The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisitions available from only one or limited sources. The justification is based on AMSC P authorization, indicating that the rights to use data needed to purchase the part from additional sources are not owned by the Government and cannot be purchased, developed, or otherwise obtained. AMC 3 is also cited, authorizing direct acquisition from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time. A sources sought notice and RFI were posted to SAM.gov on 8/8/25, resulting in one company response (provided with a Source Approval Request). The solicitation is scheduled for synopsis on 8/28/25. Competition Advocate approval was obtained on 8/25/25, and the Contracting Officer certified the justification on 8/22/25. The acquisition is supported by a technical certification indicating technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. A market survey was conducted on SAM.gov with one vendor response. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through negotiations using available cost or pricing information and approved pricing techniques to support the determination.
