JA VANEAXIAL FAN 4140-00-944-2557 REDACTED FOR POSTING.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Construction and Equipment Supply Chain.

The DLA seeks to procure 200 units of a vaneaxial fan (National Stock Number 4140-00-944-2557) from Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation or The Boeing Company. The specific part numbers are Hamilton Sundstrand 500702-5310 and Boeing 114E4041-2. The estimated unit price and total dollar value are redacted in the document. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) under FAR 6.302-1, establishing "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements" as the statutory authority for limiting competition. The document indicates that only two sources are available for this part-numbered item, necessitating the use of other than full and open competition authority.

Market research was conducted from March 2025 through June 2025, and a Sources Sought Notice was published on SAM.gov on March 11, 2025, for thirty days. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable based on comparison to previous pricing adjusted for quantity and inflation using the Producers Price Index. The acquisition will be synopsized in Contract Opportunities on SAM.gov and published on the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS). To encourage competition for alternate products, the solicitation will contain DLAD Procurement Note M06 and L04, allowing evaluation and submission of alternate product offers. The justification was executed on August 11, 2025, and approved by the DLA Troop Support Competitive Advocate.
