This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The acquisition is for 69 FAN RCU COOLING AIR parts (NSN 1680-015834353/901-325-118-105) through a large buy RFP. A sources sought notice was posted on Contract Opportunities on March 6, 2025, which resulted in two CAGE codes (9SWS7 & 3B6V7) responding.

The procurement is being conducted under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with specific justifications including that the item must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing. The market survey indicated limited technical data availability, preventing full and open competition. Dealers of the manufacturers will be solicited, and the acquisition requires approval levels for contracts over $15 million, with the Head of Contracting Activity needing to review and approve the justification. The document has been signed by the Contracting Officer and Competition Advocate, indicating progression through the approval process.
