This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The acquisition involves procuring 40 units of a FIRE SENSOR with National Stock Number (NSN) 6340012871321, with an estimated value redacted from the document. The procurement is being made directly from Meggitt Safety Systems Inc. (CAGE 25693) as the sole source, with justification based on the following key points:

The government determined that a full and open competition is not possible because the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is not willing to sell data rights, which means the technical data package, specification, and engineering description cannot be developed without reverse engineering. A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.gov on 01/10/2024, and no interest was received. The acquisition is classified as a firm fixed price contract, and the contracting officer (Floyd Moore III) has approved the justification on February 7, 2024, certifying that the procurement meets the requirements for a sole source acquisition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for acquisitions below $15 million.
