This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation Ogden. The procurement is for 79 Sensor, Anti-Lock Brake units (NSN 1630-01-217-3141) with a firm fixed price contract. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority, indicating the item can be acquired from only one source. Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems is the sole source, with the unique qualification that "Only Meggitt owns complete data to manufacture subject NSN."

Key procurement details include a sources sought notice posted on 31 January 2024 with no responses received, a market survey conducted by the 417th that reviewed commercial databases and government knowledge, and technical certification that the data is not available to permit full and open competition. The acquisition requires Head of Contracting Activity approval due to the value exceeding $15 million but not exceeding $100 million. The document notes the Air Force is attempting to overcome potential data rights barriers by regularly inquiring with manufacturers about sharing proprietary technology rights for future solicitations.
