This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation. The procurement is for 52 compressed oxygen cylinders, with a firm fixed price contract type. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13.5, with a sources sought notice posted on 08/18/25 that received one response.

Key details include AMC 3 authority (acquire directly from the manufacturer), a market survey was conducted including review of historical contracts and a sources sought listing, and technical certification indicates that technical data is not available to permit full and open competition. The acquisition is for Airborne Systems North America of NJ, with the contracting officer approval level not exceeding $750,000. The document demonstrates efforts to maximize competition by posting a synopsis and seeking market research, while justifying the sole source approach based on limited technical data availability.
