SPE4A726R0335_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JTFOC) form (AVN Form S53, October 2025) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation - Richmond, VA for a sole source acquisition. The document justifies limiting competition for the procurement of 480 each of Valve, Oil Bypass (NSN 2935-01-091-7459) from ACTRONICS, INC (CAGE 27195) under solicitation number SPE4A7-26-R-0335.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority for the sole source restriction, specifically citing AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time), AMSC D (data not economically available), and AMSC R (Government does not own data rights needed to purchase from another source). The acquisition is a new action without options, and the estimated total dollar value is redacted. To improve competition, a sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted to Contract Opportunities on December 29, 2025, but no vendors responded. The document notes that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and that the data presently available reflects minimum Government needs. The justification was approved by the Competition Advocate on January 14, 2026, and by the Contracting Officer (Renee Griffin) on January 7, 2026. The document indicates this acquisition will include procurement notes M061D4 to allow other vendors to submit source approval request (SAR) packages to enhance future competition.
