This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Form AVN S53) for a sole source procurement of Cowling (NSN 1560-20-008-2023) from W.R. Davis Engineering by the Defense Logistics Agency-Aviation. The acquisition is for 12 EA(EAD QTY) under a 5-year base period contract with no options.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the authority for limited competition, with AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time) and AMSC D (data not economically available) as specific justifications. A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.GOV on 9/28/23 which received one response from Honeycomb Co. The acquisition will be synopsized on 10/11/23. The document indicates this is a new action requiring Competition Advocate approval as it exceeds $750,000 but is under $15 million. Technical certification was completed and DLA Counsel Aviation reviewed and approved the justification for legal sufficiency.
