SPE4A526R0115_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI - Controlled Unclassified Information) document for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

The acquisition involves supplies/services identified by NSN 165001542084 and P/N 4502085, with a quantity of 79 units. The contract is a firm fixed price award to RTX Corporation (CAGE 55820) without options. The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support Richmond - FMBC, with solicitation number SPEA5260R115. A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted on 12/15/2025 to beta SAM.gov, resulting in one response from CAGE 9LYF8 (ATZ Solutions LLC), which was removed from consideration for quoting an unapproved manufacturing source. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority using AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (part requires engineering source approval by design control activity to maintain quality). The justification notes that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and that data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government. A market survey was conducted with results posted to SAM.gov, and any future responses will be considered for follow-on purchases. Actions to overcome barriers to competition include posting a synopsis to beta SAM and preparing a future solicitation with Procurement Notes M06 and L04, with sources able to submit source approval packages for DLA Aviation consideration. The Competition Advocate approved the justification on 1/29/26, and the Contracting Officer signed on 1/28/26 for estimated values over $900,000 but not exceeding $20,000,000.
