This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI-controlled), AVN Form S53 dated June 2026, prepared by DLA Weapons Support (Ogden) for the acquisition of steering unit aircraft components.

The acquisition seeks 128 units of Steering Unit Aircraft (NSN 1620-01-054-0042 / 16VL013004-1) under solicitation number SPRHA1-26-R-0546, classified as Firm Fixed Price with no options. The contracting activity is OO-DLA/AUB. The justification indicates this is a new action utilizing 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority for sole source acquisition, specifically citing AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval). The eligible sources identified are Lockheed Martin Corporation (CAGE 81755) and Eaton Aerospace LLC (CAGE 99643). A Request for Information was posted on 26 March 2026 with no responses received from industry. Market research was conducted on 417 days prior to the J&A, including review of RFI/SSS on sam.gov, commercial catalogs, procurement history, corporate knowledge, and internet databases, concluding no additional commercial or non-developmental sources exist. The anticipated cost is determined fair and reasonable under FAW 15.404 using other than certified cost and price data. Technical data is available, and the market research confirms high confidence in the identified sources' sole capability to meet requirements. The Contracting Officer (Johnny Wakefield, CO) approved the justification on 16 July 2026 for an estimated acquisition value not exceeding $10 million.
