SPE4A725R0784_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form filed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation under FAA2, solicitation number SPE4A7530784, for a sole source acquisition.

The acquisition concerns 95 units of a Control Assembly component (NSN 1670-0109725041-6YL021-2 & 580-291-166 & CB1760-2) under FAR Part 15 using a large-buy Request for Proposals (RFP) contract without options. The estimated value and maximum dollar value are redacted. The statutory authority for sole source competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from limited sources when only one source possesses the capability to furnish the required supplies. DLA Aviation initiated a Request for Information (RFI) on August 23, 2025, posted on Contract Opportunities, to which CAGE 9SWS7 responded. The justification identifies four authorized suppliers: Lockheed Martin Corporation (CAGE B1151), Transdign Inc. (CAGE 04638 and 81833), and Cablecraft Motion Controls LLC (CAGE 06970 and 0ANK9).

The acquisition is restricted to suppliers possessing specific capabilities, with technical source approval (AMSC C) required. The Acquisition Specialist determined anticipated costs to be fair and reasonable based on price comparison and historical pricing data. Market research confirmed vendor interest through the sources sought notice. The justification is approved at the Competition Advocate level for contracts over $750,000 but not exceeding $15 million, requiring technical certification. Approvals are dated 9.9.25, with anticipated synopsis on September 11, 2025. Actions to overcome competition barriers include posting the synopsis on Contract Opportunities to solicit source approval requests from interested manufacturers.
