This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The acquisition is for 13 structural fittings (NSN 1560-017007029) through a firm fixed-price contract. The sources sought notice posted on April 15, 2025, resulted in one response from BHPE LLC (9SWS7). The acquisition is being justified as the technical certification indicates that the required technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition.

The document highlights efforts to maximize competition, including posting a sources sought synopsis on beta.SAM.gov. The contract requires approval levels for justification, with signatures needed from the Contracting Officer (Robert Winchester), Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin), and potentially the Head of Contracting Activity for contracts over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million. The procurement will include notes to enhance future competition, specifically procurement note M06/L04 to permit other vendors to submit SAR Packet.
