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

The contracting activity is Aviation Richmond FMA under solicitation number SPE4A5-26-R-0022. The acquisition concerns a Parts Kit for Control Surface Aircraft (NSN/PN: 1560-01-561-3518/CA64524-003) with a quantity of 124 units. The acquisition is classified as FAR Part 15 and represents a new action without options. The contractor is ONTIC ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURE (CAGE 45934). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority and invokes Alternate Means of Compliance (AMC) 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC P (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). A sources sought notice was posted to Contract Opportunities on 08/25/2025, resulting in one response from BHPE LLC (CAGE 9SWS7). The market research was conducted, and the acquisition will be synopsized on or about 09/02/2025 with copies provided upon request. Supporting documentation indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, reflecting minimum Government needs. The justification was certified by the Contracting Officer on 09/22/2025, approved by the Competition Advocate on 9.18.25, and is pending Head of Contracting Activity approval for a contract valued between $15 million and $100 million.
