This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The contract involves procuring an Indicator, Pressure with NSN 6685-014700330 and part number 19NCXXX0X30E1BXAXX03, with a quantity range of minimum 4 to maximum 18 units. The contract is an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a 5-year base period, and the total estimated value is redacted. A sources sought notice was published on 12/05/2024, which resulted in interest from BHPE LLC (CAGE 9SWS7). The acquisition is being justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the item is available from only one or limited number of sources, specifically citing that technical certification data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition.

The document indicates that a market survey was conducted, and the contracting officer (Colleen Stroud) has approved the justification for a procurement not exceeding $750,000. The DLA Counsel has reviewed the form and concluded it creates a legally sufficient justification for restricting competition. The next steps include posting the solicitation so other manufacturers can submit approval packages for DLA Aviation's consideration, with the ultimate goal of overcoming barriers to competition in any subsequent acquisition.
