This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The procurement is for an Aircraft Door Unlock Assembly with National Stock Number (NSN) 1680-01-533-7217, with an estimated quantity of 24 units and a 5-year estimated period. BHPE LLC (CAGE 9SW57) was identified as the sole source after a sources sought notice was posted on 12/19/2024, to which they responded and were approved as a potential source.

The acquisition is being processed as a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-year base period. The justification indicates that technical certification is required since the acquisition is over $15 million, and the contract is classified as a commercial/no-developmental/off-the-shelf item. The market research involved posting sources sought notices, contacting approved sources, and determining that technical data is not available to permit full and open competition. The contract will be awarded to Marathonnorco Aerospace Inc., with final approvals pending from the Contracting Officer, Competition Advocate, and Head of Contracting Activity.
