This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Form S53) from DLA Aviation for the sole source procurement of a liquid transmitter (NSN 6680-01-651-7526) from Cummins Power Generation Inc. The document justifies restricting competition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on acquiring directly from the manufacturer for a second or subsequent time (AMC 3) and requiring engineering source approval (AMSC C).

The contract includes a 24-month option period exercisable in 12-month increments, with an estimated annual demand of 966 units. A Sources Sought notice was posted on Contract Opportunities on 3/17/2024 with no responses received. The acquisition will be synopsized on 6/4/2024. The justification was approved at the Competition Advocate level (for acquisitions between $750,000 and $15 million) and signed on 5/23/2024. The contracting approach uses FAR Part 13.5 simplified procedures, and technical certification confirms the basis for restricting competition due to unavailable technical data that cannot be developed.
