This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) for Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, Solicitation No. SPE7M525R0021.

The acquisition seeks 39 antennas (NSN 5985-01-308-1819) for F-16 Aircraft (WSDC 26F) on a firm-fixed-price basis with no options. The contract type is fixed quantity. The Government restricts this acquisition to two approved sources: Aerospace & Commercial Technologies (CAGE 1XKR3) and Lockheed Martin Corporation (CAGE 81755). The justification is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically citing AMSC code M, which indicates that manufacture requires master or coordinated tooling that is not available to other sources. On August 13, 2025, the Product Specialist certified the accuracy of the approved sources and applicable AMC/AMSC codes. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about November 21, 2025, for a 14-day period, with dealers of the approved sources solicited and the solicitation posted on the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days. A market survey conducted on August 22, 2025, contacted Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, which responded; the item is not a commercial item and does not appear on any GSA schedule. No procurement history or alternative manufacturing sources were identified through internet search. The anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable based on price analysis comparing proposed prices to historical prices and potentially certifying cost or pricing data. The Competition Advocate has approved this justification dated October 24, 2025. Approval requirements specify that the Contracting Officer approves acquisitions up to $900,000, and the Competition Advocate approves acquisitions over $900,000 to $20,000,000.
