This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The acquisition is for Aircraft Structural Panels, with a quantity of 16 each and 80 each over a 5-year estimate. The contract will be a Firm Fixed-Price Indefinite Quantity Contract. A sources sought notice was posted on 03/25/2025, which resulted in responses from BHPE LLC and Max3 LLC. The justification is based on the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically noting that the data needed is not economically available and the technical data cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The contract is valued over $15 million but under $100 million, requiring approval from the Head of Contracting Activity. The document includes market research efforts and indicates that dealers of manufacturers will be solicited, with sources sought notices already posted to determine interested firms.
