This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, November 2024) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for an acquisition of fan aircraft materials through the Aviation Supply Chain in Richmond.

The acquisition involves 97 units of fan aircraft materials (NSN: 1680-0152761009, PN: H002261) with an estimated value that is redacted. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price with definite quantity and will not include options. The solicitation number is SPE4A7-25-R-0504. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), allowing acquisition from only one or limited sources. The justification is based on AMSC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC D (data needed to acquire the part is not economically available). A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted on Contract Opportunities on 03/28/2025, resulting in limited response. A market survey was conducted, with Coherent Technical Services, Inc. responding to the sources sought notice but not being evaluated due to extended evaluation timeframes. The sole identified source is Donaldson Company, Inc. (CAGE 18265). Three additional sources indicating interest were identified: Medeonow LLC (CAGE 24523), Big Mouth Productions (CAGE 66HS3), and BHPE LLC aka Begini Howard Private Equity (CAGE 9SWS7). The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 05/15/2025, with procurement notes M06/L04 included to enhance future competition. Jenier B. Mitchell (Contracting Officer) signed the justification on 08 May 2025, with Competition Advocate Yolanda Calvin Maupin certifying on 5.12.25 for the over $750,000 but not exceeding $15 million approval level.
