This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) submitted by DLA Weapons Support Ogden for a sole source acquisition of Angle of Attack Transmitters.

The procurement involves 24 units of Angle of Attack Transmitters (NSN/PN: 6610012531448/16VC034-2 or SL27317-2) via firm fixed price contract with no options. The acquisition is restricted to two sources: Lockheed—Non Manufacturing Design Control Activity (CAGE 81755) and Aerosonic—OEM, Owns the Data Rights (CAGE 98810). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority under AMSC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC R (Government lacks ownership of data rights needed to purchase from another source and procurement is uneconomical). A sources sought notice/RFI was posted on Contract Opportunities around March 26, 2026, with no responses received from industry. A market survey was conducted identifying only Aerosonic as a qualified manufacturing source with known distributors Carp Industries and Kellstrom; the OEM has granted exclusive U.S. sales rights to Carp Industries while Kellstrom handles foreign customers. The justification notes technical data is proprietary and unavailable for competitive acquisition, and that reverse engineering is not feasible. The Contracting Officer approved the justification on April 20, 2026, for an acquisition not exceeding $900,000.
