This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, June 2026) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Ogden.

The acquisition involves RADOME parts (NSN/PN: 1560-01-179-8343 WF / 16VB008-6) with a quantity of 15 units. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price without options. The statutory authority for limiting competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or limited sources. The justification cites AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC N (manufacture requires special test and/or inspection facilities to maintain function or system integrity) as the bases for the sole source determination. Additional authority cited includes "MQR available," indicating manufacturer qualification requirements are in effect.

The Government conducted market research efforts including an RFI posted to Contract Opportunities on 8 January 2026, which resulted in no industry responses. A market survey by the 416th completed research via RFI/SSS posting to Sam.gov, commercial catalogs review, procurement history review, corporate knowledge, and Internet database searches, concluding with high confidence that no alternative sources could satisfy requirements. The document identifies two potential sources with interest: General Dynamics Mission Systems (CAGE 04DG4) and Lockheed Martin Corp (CAGE 81755). The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 8 January 2026 with solicitation copies provided upon request. Fair and reasonable cost determination is based on IAW FAR 15.404 using other than certified cost and price data. The Contracting Officer, Johnny Wakefield, CO, approved the justification on 24 September 2026 for an estimated value not exceeding $10 million.
