SPRHA125R1079_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) form (AVN Form S53, October 2025) for a sole source acquisition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1).

Acquisition Overview:

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Ogden is acquiring 10 brake multiple disk units (NSN 1630-01-500-1903) from Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems (CAGE: 0B9R9) on a firm fixed-price basis without options. The acquisition is being processed under FAR Part 15 and is restricted to a single source due to Meggitt's exclusive ownership of proprietary manufacturing data necessary to produce the required component. The solicitation number is SPRHA1-25-R-1079, with a synopsis date of 12/9/2025. The estimated contract value has been redacted but is noted as being below $900,000, falling under the Contracting Officer approval threshold.

Justification Rationale:

The J&A cites AMSC 3 (acquire from manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) and includes an "Other" justification stating that only Meggitt owns the complete data required to manufacture the subject NSN. Prior efforts to improve competition included an RFI posted to the SAM.gov Contract Opportunities portal on TBD with no industry responses. A market survey was conducted on 4/17th examining RFI/SSS postings, commercial catalogs, procurement history, corporate knowledge, Internet databases, and government screening documents, confirming no alternative sources are capable of meeting the agency's needs. The contractor is unwilling to share proprietary data rights for competitive solicitations. The Contracting Officer (Kitty Lam) approved the justification on December 9, 2025, with technical data being unavailable and uneconomical to develop for full and open competition.
