The procurement is for 738 units of a Filter Element, Air with NSN 1660-01394369/P646155, with an estimated value that is redacted. The acquisition will be made from a limited set of sources: BHPE LLC, ZENITH AVIATION INC, and TIGER TEAM ENGINEERING, who were identified through a sources sought notice posted on beta.SAM.gov on June 6, 2024.

The justification indicates the contract will not include an option, but will have a total estimated dollar value of an undisclosed amount. The acquisition is being pursued under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which allows procurement from a limited number of sources. The solicitation will include procurement notes to enhance future competition, and the contract requires approval at the Head of Contracting Activity level due to the value exceeding $15 million but not exceeding $100 million. The technical justification is based on the technical data not being available to permit full and open competition.
