This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation Ogden. The procurement is for 10 alternate emergency motors (NSN 6105-01-036-5479) with Goodrich Ontic Engineering as the sole source, based on the fact that only Ontic Engineering and Manufacturing Inc. owns the data to manufacture the subject NSN. The acquisition is being pursued under FAR Part 15 with a firm fixed price contract type.

Key details include a market survey conducted in October 2024, which found no alternative sources, and a synopsis exception cited due to the acquisition not being expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The Air Force has attempted to overcome data rights barriers by regularly inquiring with manufacturers about sharing proprietary data. The document indicates that the technical data is proprietary, and the contractor is unwilling to sell it, with the 417th maintenance unit unable to maintain all necessary engineering functions to reverse engineer the data. The contracting officer, Rocky Tello, signed the document on 25 January 2025, and the acquisition is not expected to exceed $750,000.
