This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for a sole source acquisition of hydraulic servo valves by DLA Aviation-Ogden on behalf of AURA (contracting activity).

The acquisition seeks 200 each of hydraulic servo valves identified by NSN 1650010841570WF/975138-9 from Parker Hannifin Corporation (CAGE 93835). The contract type is firm fixed-price without options. A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted to Contract Opportunities on 2/21/25, resulting in no responses. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for restricting competition to a single source. The acquisition is justified under multiple criteria, including AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC R (the Government does not own the data or rights necessary to purchase from another source, and it is not economical to procure the data or rights). Additional justification notes that USG does not own data rights for this NSN and cannot reverse engineer the end item. A market survey was conducted through industry days, trade journals, site visits, and contact with known sources. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through price history and approved pricing techniques per FAR 15.404. The estimated value is redacted. The Competition Advocate and Head of Contracting Activity approved the justification for an acquisition valued over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million.
