This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for DLA Aviation, authorizing a sole-source procurement of parts kit for fuselage from R & S Machining Inc. The acquisition involves 50 kits with a firm fixed-contract type, based on the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically under Acquisition Method Code (AMC) 3, which allows direct procurement from the manufacturer.

Market research was conducted on 1/27/2025 via a sources sought notice on SAM.gov, which received one vendor response. The market survey confirmed the item is manufactured exclusively by R & S Machining Inc (CAGE 4XK87), and no surplus stock exists. The technical justification indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The contract is valued at over $15 million, requiring Head of Contracting Activity approval, and will be awarded to R & S Machining Inc for a Master Kit with NSN 1560-015976221 and Part Number 626BHSUBKIT1RSM.
