SPRHA125Q0496_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53), a federal contracting document that justifies the award of a contract on a non-competitive basis.

The contracting activity is the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Ogden, with solicitation number SPRHA1-25-Q-0006. The acquisition covers 50 units of a Turbine Assembly (NSN/PN: 2835-01-727-7542-YP) on a firm fixed-price basis without options. The anticipated contract value is redacted but falls below $900,000, making the Contracting Officer the approval authority. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition, specifically invoking AMSC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (part requires engineering source approval from the design control activity). The document identifies Renaissance Services Inc. (CAGE: 3KQZ4) and Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation (CAGE: 99167) as the known sources capable of supplying the turbine assembly.

The contracting officer conducted a market survey on 03/27/2026 that included an RFI posted to Contract Opportunities, resulting in one quote from Renaissance Services. The justification confirms that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and notes that the data presently available reflects minimum Government needs. The document indicates that the Air Force regularly inquires with manufacturers regarding proprietary data rights and performs reverse engineering feasibility analyses to overcome competitive barriers in subsequent acquisitions. The justification was signed by Contracting Officer Michelle Leschke on 26 May 2026.
