This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, October 2025) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for an aviation-related acquisition at Richmond.

The document justifies a sole-source acquisition from AXILLON AEROSPACE (BALTIMORE) INC (CAGE 25223) for RADOME supplies under NSN 1560-0154654426, with a quantity of 13 units. The procurement is being conducted under FAR Part 15 and is approved at the Contracting Officer level for amounts not exceeding $900,000. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price with no options included. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition from a sole source due to limited availability. The justification cites two specific acquisition method codes: AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC B (must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing).

Competition efforts included a Sources Sought notice posted to Contract Opportunities on 09/09/26, which resulted in no responses received. A market survey was conducted to determine if new and unused government surplus was available; however, a query of ILSMart revealed insufficient surplus material. The justification notes that market research for additional manufacturing sources would not result in receipt of a competitive data package due to proprietary technical data rights held by Axillon. The document confirms that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and data currently available reflects the minimum needs of the government. The contracting officer, Kizzy Brinkley, has certified the justification as accurate and complete.
