This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation Supply Chain. The contract is for 165 units of "COIL AND HOUSING AS" with a National Stock Number (NSN) of 9543424, intended for F-16 aircraft. The acquisition will be a Large Buy RFP, and a market survey was conducted with two firms - Hartmann's Inc. and Delflo Industries Inc. (7VNH4) responding to a sources sought notice.

The justification indicates that the technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The solicitation will include procurement notes to enhance future competition, and the contract is not exceeding $750,000, requiring approval from the Contracting Officer. The acquisition is being pursued under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which allows procurement from only one or limited sources, specifically citing AMC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer) as the basis for the sole source determination.
