This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document for a sole source and limited competition acquisition filed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation-Richmond, VA contracting activity.

The acquisition covers igniter spark gas igniters (NSN 2925-01-029-5130) in a quantity of 1,480 EAQs with an estimated value that is redacted. The contract type is for 5 base years with 0 options and will not include options for increased quantity or contract term extensions. The statutory authority for this limited competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or limited number of sources. The identified sources are UNISON INDUSTRIES LLC (CAGE 59501) and CHAMPION AEROSPACE LLC (CAGE 0AF4), with the justification based on AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC B (must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing). A sources sought notice/RFI was posted on December 29, 2025, on Contract Opportunities with no vendor responses. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about January 13, 2026, and solicitation copies will be provided. The Contracting Officer determined that anticipated costs are fair and reasonable based on previous procurement history. A market survey was conducted to increase competition through the sources sought notice, which yielded no responses. Technical data is not available to permit full and open competition, and actions to overcome competitive barriers include excluding procurement notes M061-04 and requiring vendors to submit a SAR package with procurement note L22. The justification is approved by the Contracting Officer under FAR 6.304 for acquisitions not exceeding $10 million, signed on 5/11/26.
