This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. The acquisition is for 2,000 Nut, Self-Locking, HE components with a National Stock Number (NSN) of 5310-99-702-3861, to be procured under a 5-base year contract with 0 options. A sources sought notice was posted on April 9, 2025, but no vendors responded, leading the agency to proceed with a sole source acquisition. The justification cites AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMC Z (commercial/no-developmental/off-the-shelf item) as supporting rationales. The total estimated contract value is redacted, but the procurement is subject to technical certification requirements for acquisitions over $15 million, with approvals required from the Contracting Officer, Competition Advocate, and Head of Contracting Activity.
