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 contract is for 8 DUCT ASSEMBLY, BLEED items (NSN 1560-00-894-2054) with a 5-base year contract and 0 options. A sources sought notice was posted on November 6, 2024, but no vendors responded. The acquisition is restricted to Arrowhead Products Corp and Senior Operations LLC, with a requirement for a technical certification for acquisitions over $15 million. The document indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and a market survey was conducted to increase competition with no vendor responses.

The document is approved at the contracting officer level for a contract value over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million. The contracting officer Renee Griffin and competition advocate Yolanda Calvin Maupain have certified the justification's accuracy on 11/25/24. The acquisition is being pursued under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically noting the item can only be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing (AMSC B). The procurement will enhance future competition by requiring vendors to submit a SAR package, with procurement note L22 to be included in the solicitation.
