This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, November 2024) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for a sole source acquisition from The Boeing Company (CAGE 82918).

The acquisition concerns 12 units of structural and aluminum panels (NSN: 1560-01707359; P/N: 520-19415-502) for DLA Aviation. The contract type is firm fixed price definite delivery with no options. The statutory authority is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from a single or limited number of sources. The justification cites AMC 4 (acquire for the first time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC R (Government does not own data rights needed to purchase from another source; procurement from alternative sources is uneconomical). A sources sought notice was posted on 02/05/2025 and closed on 02/06/2025, with only BHPE LLC (9SWS7) responding. The document indicates a synopsis will be posted on SAM.gov prior to award. The anticipated cost is deemed fair and reasonable based on historical prices and comparative analysis. The acquisition was approved by the Competition Advocate on 3/12/2025 for a value exceeding $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000, requiring Competition Advocate approval under FAR 6.304(a)(2). The Contracting Officer, Jenier Mitchell, certified the justification on 3/11/2025.
