This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The acquisition is for 1,399 Blade Set Compressors, with a procurement being conducted through the Federal Supply Chain. The contract type is Fixed Term Price (FTP), and the source is RTX Corporation. The acquisition is being justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically using AMC 3 (acquiring directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval to maintain part quality). A sources sought notice was posted on 12/9/2024, and a market survey was conducted to explore potential sources. The estimated contract value is redacted, but the document indicates it falls in the range over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million, which requires Head of Contracting Activity approval.

The document details efforts to ensure competitive sourcing, noting that technical certification is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The procurement will be syndicated on 12/9/2024, with any firm requesting a solicitation copy able to receive one. The contracting officers, including Daniel Sink and Yolanda Calvin Maupin, have certified the accuracy and completeness of the justification. The procurement is controlled by DLA Aviation and FMAC, with the ultimate goal of acquiring specialized compressor equipment through a sole-source mechanism that meets specific technical requirements.
