This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation Ogden for a theodolite surveying equipment (NSN: 6675-01-644-9140/WF/218390-001) from BAE Systems. The firm-fixed-price contract has no options and will be awarded under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) for sole source procurement.

The justification indicates that BAE Systems (CAGE: 12436) is the only known source capable of providing the item, as they own the complete technical data rights and are unwilling to sell this data to the government. A sources sought notice was posted on December 6, 2024, and market research confirmed BAE Systems as the sole manufacturer and approved source. The total estimated value is under $750,000, requiring only Contracting Officer approval. The acquisition was synopsized on December 6, 2024, and previous attempts to obtain the technical data rights from BAE Systems (including a request on October 27, 2022) were unsuccessful, leaving no viable path to compete this requirement.
