The use of authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) is justified under AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC N (manufacture requires special test and/or inspection facilities to maintain function or system integrity). The document indicates that only Meggitt and Lockheed currently possess the required special test and inspection facilities, and Lockheed is not currently manufacturing this item. A sources sought notice and RFI were posted to Contract Opportunities with no responses received from alternative suppliers.

Actions to improve competition in subsequent acquisitions include inclusion of a Market Qualification Request (MQR) with future solicitations to enable other sources to become qualified. The Contracting Officer certified the justification under delegated authority (Class Deviation 2026-O0017), applicable to acquisitions not exceeding $10 million.
