This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation.

The acquisition involves cable assembly specifications (NSN 5995-01-416-8408) with a quantity of 60/180 units. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price base 5-year contract with no options. DLA Aviation is acquiring this item directly from the manufacturer (CHUGACH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, INC, CAGE 59QK3) for the second or subsequent time, citing AMSC 3 authority. The statutory basis for limiting competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition from only one or limited sources. A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted on 9/19/2023 with no responses received, fulfilling the requirement for market research and competition efforts. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 8/25/2023 with solicitation copies available to interested firms. The estimated value falls within the $900,000 to $20,000,000 range, requiring approval by the Competition Advocate. The justification notes that this part requires engineering source approval to maintain quality standards (AMSC C designation). Supporting documentation includes certification from technical requirements personnel, approval signatures from the Contracting Officer (Heidi Lacosse, dated 1/20/2026) and Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin, dated 1/22/26).
