This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form documenting the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation's sole source procurement of 64 Core Engine Mounts (NSN 2995-00-968-8418) from Lord Corporation. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 15 with a 5-year base period and no options.

A sources sought notice was posted on April 26, 2024 with no vendors responding. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(1) as the authority, specifically AMC 3 (acquiring directly from manufacturer for second/subsequent time) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval). The estimated value is redacted but falls between $750,000 and $15 million based on approval levels. The acquisition will be synopsized on May 10, 2024. Technical data is not available to permit full and open competition. The solicitation will include notes to permit other vendors to submit source approval requests to enhance future competition. The contracting officer and competition advocate have approved this justification.
