This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form for a sole source acquisition of 22 F-16 Display Multifunction units (NSN: 1260014696512WF / 16VE962001-20) by DLA Aviation Ogden. The acquisition is a firm-fixed-price contract with no options, being procured under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) for limited/sole source procurement.

The justification indicates Honeywell International (CAGE: 07187) is the sole manufacturer with complete technical data rights. A sources sought notice was posted on September 21, 2023, with no responses received from industry. Market research confirmed no other sources could provide the item. The documentation notes that the data is proprietary and Honeywell is unwilling to sell their data rights, with the Air Force unable to fund reverse engineering efforts. The contract value is redacted but falls between $750,000 and $15 million based on approval levels, requiring Competition Advocate approval. The justification was signed off by the PCO Rocky Tello and Competition Advocate Kristina Lenderman in October 2023.
