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 acquisition is for 16 EA (each quantity) of a valve for a fuel system, with a 5-year base contract period. The document indicates that a sources sought notice was posted on SAM.GOV on 4/14/25, which resulted in no responses. The contract will be awarded to ITT Aerospace (CAGE 73760), and is being pursued under AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition) and AMSC B (must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing). The contract value is classified, but the approval level is for contracts not exceeding $750,000, to be approved by the Contracting Officer.

The justification includes market research efforts demonstrating attempts to ensure competitive sourcing, including posting a sources sought notice and conducting a market survey. The document notes that the anticipated cost to the government will be fair and reasonable, though specific cost details are redacted. The contract requires technical certification, and the document is signed by Cynthia F. Hunt, an Acquisition Specialist, with a signature date of 4/30/25. The acquisition is being pursued under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which allows procurement from only one or limited sources.
