SPRHA126R0499_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI - Controlled Unclassified Information) filed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Ogden for a sole source acquisition from Honeywell (CAGE 55284).

The acquisition concerns 91 units of KC-46 Wheel Assembly (NSN 1630016540282) under solicitation number SPRH44-26-R-0499. The document indicates this is a firm fixed-price contract without options and represents a new action under FAA Part 13.5 authority. The statutory basis for sole source procurement is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition directly from the manufacturer for the first time. The justification cites AMC 4 (acquire for the first time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC Z (commercial/off-the-shelf item) as primary rationales, along with an "Other" designation noting that only Honeywell (OEM) owns the complete data to manufacture the subject NSN. A sources sought notice and RFI were posted on Contract Opportunities on 24 March 2026, which resulted in no industry responses. The market research conducted included RFI/SSS postings, commercial catalog reviews, procurement history analysis, corporate knowledge review, and internet database searches, confirming no alternative sources capable of satisfying the agency's needs. The contracting officer (Rocky Tello, PCO) certified the acquisition on 26 March 2026, and the justification was approved at the contracting officer level for acquisitions not exceeding $10 million.
