This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation Ogden. The acquisition is for 28 Cylinder Assembly A components, with a National Stock Number (NSN) 1650-01-417-8525, using a firm fixed-price contract. The procurement is being conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), specifically citing AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (part requiring engineering source approval).

A sources sought notice was posted on 15 January 2025, with no responses received from industry. The market research included reviewing procurement documents, government corporate knowledge, internet databases, and commercial catalogs. The acquisition is restricted to Arkwin Industries, Inc. (CAGE 98391), with technical data and market research indicating this is the only source capable of supplying the required components. The contract requires approval at the Head of Contracting Activity level due to the value exceeding $15 million but not exceeding $100 million. The Air Force is working to overcome barriers to competition by regularly inquiring with manufacturers about sharing proprietary data rights for future open solicitations.
