This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (CUI Form S53, October 2025) submitted by DLA Aviation for the acquisition of a television set.

The document justifies a limited competition procurement under FAA Part 13.5 authority based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition from a limited number of sources when only one source possesses the required capability. The specific item being procured is a television set (NSN/PN: 5820-01652863 / 4P-B75EJ2U) with an estimated acquisition quantity of 142 units (EAD) and 210 units (MCO), with estimated value redacted from the document. The procurement is classified as a new action with indefinite quantity contract type. The sole source selected is Sharp Electronics Corp Government (CAGE 8P309). The basis for restricting competition is coded as AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC Z (commercial/no-developmental/off-the-shelf item).

To satisfy competition requirements under DFARS 206.303-2, a sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were published on February 18, 2026, in Contract Opportunities. A market survey was conducted, and the anticipated cost was determined to be fair and reasonable based on historical pricing. The procurement was synopsized on February 23, 2026, with solicitation copies available to interested firms. Technical data availability limitations and the commercial nature of the item support the justification for limiting competition. The contracting officer, Genesis Johnson, certified the justification on February 19, 2026. Competition Advocate Yolanda Calvin Maupin approved the justification on February 23, 2026, indicating the contract value exceeds $900,000 but does not exceed $20 million, requiring Competition Advocate approval authority.
