This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Form S53) from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation-FAQE for the sole-source procurement of Aircraft Pulley Block (NSN: 1680-015665137) from Chant Engineering. The procurement is for 24 units with a 5-year quantity of 120 units under a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-year base period and no options.

A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.GOV on 10/30/24 with no responses received. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority, with AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time) and AMSC B (must be acquired from manufacturing source specified on source control drawing) as the specific justification codes. The acquisition will be synopsized on 11/04/2024. The contract value is below $750,000 and requires only Contracting Officer approval. Technical certification confirms the sole-source justification is complete and accurate, with DLA Counsel Aviation review completed for legal sufficiency.
