This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a federal contract issued by the Defense Logistics Agency's Aviation Supply Chain in Richmond. The acquisition is for 134 Gearbox Assembly A1 components, to be procured through a Full and Open Competition (Large Buy RFP) contract. The primary source identified is BHPE LLC (CAGE 9SWS7), with Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc. and Moog Inc. also listed as potential sources.

The market survey revealed limited competition, with technical certification noting that available technical data is insufficient to permit full and open competition. The solicitation will include procurement notes to enhance future competition, and a synopsis will be posted on beta.SAM.gov around January 6, 2025. The contract is valued over $15 million but under $100 million, requiring approval from the Head of Contracting Activity. The Contracting Officer, Robert Winchester, and Competition Advocate, Yolanda Calvin Maupin, have reviewed and certified the justification as accurate and complete.
