This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Form AVN S53) for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation - FME. The requirement is for shackles (NSN 4030-015854504, P/N 12423327-001) with a minimum quantity of 327 and maximum of 1308 units under an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a 5-year base period.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the authority, with AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second/subsequent time) and AMSC P (data rights not owned by government) as the specific rationales.
