This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document submitted by DLA Weapons Support Ogden for a sole source acquisition from The Boeing Company (CAGE: 0B0D7). The acquisition concerns two upper and lower umbilical cable NSN items (6150-00-264-0733 and 6150-00-613-0343), with quantities of 31 units each. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price with no options included. The estimated total acquisition value exceeds $20 million but does not exceed $150 million, requiring Head of Contracting Activity approval.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition and specifically invokes AMSC R (Government does not own data or rights to data needed to purchase from another source) and lists a custom "Other" justification stating Boeing owns complete data to manufacture the subject NSNs. The sole source restriction is based on Boeing being the only manufacturer with required proprietary drawings, including top-level and lower-level drawings. Prior competition efforts included an RFI posted on Contract Opportunities on 8/6/25, during which SCB Division of DCX-CHOL confirmed Boeing as the sole source capable of manufacturing the parts. A market survey was conducted including RFI/SSS reviews and commercial catalog research, confirming no alternative sources exist. Actions to overcome competition barriers include regular Air Force inquiries regarding data rights sharing and ongoing feasibility analysis for reverse engineering, with Boeing declining to release proprietary data as of 10 March 2025. The justification was approved by the Contracting Officer on 9 March 2026 and the Competition Advocate on 16 March 2026.
