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. The procurement is for 166 Hydraulic Parts Kits with NSN 1650-015746518, classified under a Definite Quantity contract type. The acquisition is being pursued directly from the manufacturer, Triumph Actuation Systems LLC, under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1).

Key justification details include the lack of technical certification data availability, with the government unable to develop the required technical data to permit full and open competition. A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.GOV on 12.09.24, which received no responses. The contract is valued over $15 million, requiring approval from the Head of Contracting Activity, and the procurement is being conducted through a market survey with efforts to maximize competition despite the technical limitations preventing a fully open solicitation process.
