SPRHA125Q0873_Redacted CUI SSI.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI form) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation – Ogden contracting activity.

The acquisition involves six gas turbine engines (NSN/PN 2835-01-308-3769/160001-1100A) from Raytheon Technologies Corp. DBA Pratt & Whitney (P&W), CAGE code 55820. The contract type is Definitive Firm Fixed Price with no options. The acquisition is restricted to a single source based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically under AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC Z (commercial/no-developmental/off-the-shelf item). A sources sought notice was posted on Contract Opportunities on 10/23/24, which resulted in no responses from industry. Market research was conducted via internet search on Google and ThomasNet for manufacturing, repair, and overhaul of aircraft APUs, with additional sources identified through industry knowledge and past company dealings. The justification notes that the USG does not own the data rights for the NSN and is unable to reverse engineer the end item. The Contracting Officer (Michelle Mihu) certified the information as accurate and complete, with approval authority assigned to the Competition Advocate (Tyler Ouellette/CRO) for the $750,000 to $15,000,000 threshold on 20241112. Technical certification requirements apply for acquisitions exceeding $15 million.
