This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency-Aviation. The procurement is for a FILTER ELEMENT, FLUID with NSN 1650-015035146, with a quantity of 4650 (EAD QTY). The contract type is a 5-year maximum value contract that will not include an option, and a sources sought notice was posted on SAM.GOV on 3/05/25 with no responses received.

The justification indicates the acquisition is restricted to the only source of supply known to have the capability of furnishing the required supplies, specifically Pall Aeropower Corp's Parafactor Fleet Inc. The document cites AMC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC P (rights to purchase data are not owned by the Government) as supporting rationales. The procurement is for over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million, which requires approval from the Head of Contracting Activity, and a technical certification is noted as required for acquisitions over $15 million.
