SPRHA126R00338_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (CUI Form S53, March 2026) submitted by DLA Weapons Support Ogden for the acquisition of B-2 Main Wheels (NSN 1630-01-262-8315) in a quantity of 29 units.

The acquisition is being conducted as a new action on a firm fixed-price basis without options under FAR Part 15, with an estimated contract value not disclosed in the document. The contracting activity is OO-DLA/AUB under solicitation number SPRHA1-26-R-00338. The sole source justification is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically citing AMSC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC R (the Government does not own data or rights to the data needed to purchase the part from another source, and it is not economical to procure the data or rights to the data). The identified sole source is Honeywell (CAGE 55284). A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted to Contract Opportunities on March 23, 2026, resulting in no industry responses. A market survey was conducted on March 17, 2026, including RFI/SSS posted to sam.gov, review of commercial catalogs, procurement history, government corporate knowledge, Internet databases, and government screening documents. The justification notes that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and that the data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government. Additional facts supporting limited competition include that the data is proprietary and the contractor is unwilling to sell it, and the Air Force regularly inquires with manufacturers regarding proprietary data rights and performs analysis on feasibility and cost-effectiveness of reverse engineering. The acquisition was approved by the Contracting Officer on April 14, 2026.
