This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation. The contract is for a Beacon/Distress item (NSN 5820929050544) with a quantity of 25,220 units. It is a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract with a three-year base period. A sources sought notice was posted on SAM on 6/27/25, with market research conducted via email, and dealers will submit a proposal for this Limited Term Contract (LTC).

The acquisition is being pursued under AMC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer) and AMC Z (commercial/no-developmental/off-the-shelf item). The technical justification indicates that technical certification data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. Two companies, Kampi Components Inc. and Donatini, Inc., are listed as sources indicating interest. The solicitation will include procurement notes to enhance future competition by permitting other vendors to submit SAR Packet materials. The contract value falls in the approval range requiring Head of Contracting Activity review, as it is over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million.
