This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI document AVN Form S53, NOV 2024) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Richmond for a sole source acquisition.

The acquisition seeks 36 units of NRP cable assemblies (NSN/PN 6150-015990875) from TELEDYNE INSTRUMENTS INC (CAGE 17476) on a firm fixed price basis without options. The estimated contract value is redacted. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (FAKB) controls the item under the Distribution/Dissemination category. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for sole source procurement, with the primary basis being AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC D (data needed to acquire the part is not economically available). Additional supporting factors include AMSC D certification that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. A sources sought notice and RFI were posted to Contract Opportunities on 2/10/2025, and solicitation will be posted to DIBBs with sources sought notices already available. Other interested sources include BHPE LLC (CAGE 9SWS7) and APEXTECH (CAGE 0XZQ7). The Competition Advocate approved the justification on 3/24/25, and the Contracting Officer (Kizzy Ward) certified the justification on 3/21/25. The acquisition is valued between $750,000 and $15,000,000, requiring Competition Advocate approval.
