This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Form AVN S53) for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation Ogden for 25 units of Housing, Antifriction (NSN 2835-01-474-8756RP) from Honeywell. The acquisition is a firm fixed price contract with no options, being conducted under FAR Part 15 authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) for limited/sole source procurement.

The justification indicates that a sources sought notice was posted on Contract Opportunities on May 15, 2024 with no responses received from industry. Market research was conducted including reviews of commercial catalogs, procurement history, and government databases, which confirmed Honeywell as the only source due to proprietary data rights. The Air Force has attempted to obtain data rights for competitive procurement but Honeywell is unwilling to sell the data or fund reverse engineering efforts. The contract value requires Competition Advocate approval (between $750K and $15M) and was signed on May 20, 2024 by the PCO and Competition Advocate.
