This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Form AVN S53) for a sole source procurement by DLA Aviation for 25 Engine Mount Cores (NSN 2995-002303999). The procurement is a new Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-year base period and no options, being awarded to Lord Corporation (CAGE: 76005).

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the authority for limited competition, specifically AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second/subsequent time) and AMSC C (engineering source approval required). A sources sought notice was posted on Contract Opportunities on 5/1/2024 with no responses received. The acquisition will be synopsized on 5/6/2024. The contracting officer level approval indicates the contract value is under $750,000. DLA Aviation conducted market research and determined fair and reasonable pricing based on historical prices. The solicitation will include provisions for potential new sources to submit data for evaluation to reduce barriers to competition in future procurements.
