This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation. The solicitation is for Latch Assemblies, COWL with NSN 5342-00777641 and 5342-00777643, requiring 25 and 19 units respectively. Hartwell Corporation (CAGE 83014) is the sole source, with the acquisition justified under FAR Part 15 as a Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Quantity Contract. A sources sought notice was posted on 11/25/2024, with only Hartwell expressing interest in the LTC (Latch Assembly). The market research efforts included a SAM posting and direct emails to two approved sources, but only Hartwell responded. The technical justification indicates that technical certification data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, making Hartwell the recommended sole source provider.

The document includes approval levels for contracts not exceeding $750,000, with the Contracting Officer (Genesis Johnson) certifying the accuracy of the justification as of 1/2/2025. The acquisition strategy includes provisions to enhance future competition by including procurement notes M06/L04 to permit other vendors to submit SAR Packet materials. The total estimated value of the acquisition is redacted, but the contract is structured as an Indefinite Quantity Contract with no specified options for increased quantity or term extension.
