This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JFOTFOC) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The procurement is for 8 LF Chiller units with a National Stock Number (NSN) of 4130-01-547-5222. The contract will be a Definitive Firm Fixed Price type, and a sources sought notice was posted on 17 July 2025 with no responses received from industry.

The document indicates that the acquisition is being restricted to the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies, with HDT Global (CAGE 92878) identified as the potential vendor. The justification is based on acquiring directly from the manufacturer (AMC 3), and market research efforts revealed that new sources could qualify but would need to build a test stand at a substantial cost. The procurement is over $15 million and requires approval from the Head of Contracting Activity, with the Contracting Officer (Rocky Tello) and Competition Advocate (Tyler Ouelette) having reviewed and approved the document. The USG currently owns a test stand for this equipment but notes it is large and not easily transportable between locations.
