This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source contract issued by the Defense Logistics Agency-Aviation. The procurement is for Cylinder, Tank Hydraulics with NSN 1650-010105057, and the contract type is an Indefinite Quantity (IQC) with a 5-year base period. The agency conducted a sources sought notice on 3/28/25 which resulted in no responses, and a market survey was performed by posting a notice on SAM.GOV. The justification indicates that technical certification is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, with Arkwin Industries (CAGE 98391) identified as the potential source.

The document specifies that the acquisition is being pursued under AMC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC P (rights to purchase data are not owned by the Government). The contract is not expected to exceed $750,000 and will require approval from the Contracting Officer. The procurement appears to be for a critical military component where technical data limitations prevent competitive bidding, necessitating a sole source approach with a single manufacturer to meet the Defense Logistics Agency's specific requirements.
