This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. The document indicates that Hydro-Fitting Manufacturing Corporation is the sole qualified source for a specific item, with a Qualified Products List (QPL) applying. The estimated contract value is redacted, but the acquisition will be for a 5-year period with a firm fixed-price indefinite quantity contract. A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.GOV on 03/05/2025, which resulted in no responses received, and the technical certification confirms that technical data is not available to permit full and open competition.

The document details efforts to maximize competition, including a market survey and sources sought notice, but ultimately determines that only Hydro-Fitting Manufacturing Corporation can provide the required item. The contract requires a technical certification for acquisitions over $15 million, and the approval level is set for the Contracting Officer for contracts not exceeding $750,000. The procurement is being conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which allows for acquisition from only one source, with potential manufacturers able to seek qualification by having their products examined and tested to meet specified standards.
