This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source contract with Foster-Miller, Inc. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to acquire Supplemental Armor with a National Stock Number (NSN) 1560-014346362, with an estimated quantity of 500 over a 5-year period. The contract will be a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract.

A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.GOV on 02/26/25 to maximize competition, but no contractors expressed interest. The justification indicates that technical certification is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The contracting officer, Ryan Loeffelholz, has certified the information as accurate and complete for a contract not exceeding $750,000. The document notes that the government's ability to obtain the required technical data is limited, and no other sources were identified during market research efforts.
