This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) for a sole source acquisition of Control Interface components under FAR Part 15.

The Defense Logistics Aviation-Huntsville (DLA) is acquiring Control Interface supplies identified by NSN 5895-01-652-2181/899-3100-117 with a quantity of 390 MIN/910 MAX units from Telephonics Corporation (CAGE 78711). The acquisition is structured as a five-year indefinite delivery requirements contract with no options. DLA conducted a Sources Sought notice on July 3, 2023, with a closing date of July 7, 2023, which resulted in zero inquiries. A market survey was performed to solicit interest from potential sources. The estimated total contract value exceeds $15 million, requiring Head of Contracting Activity approval.

The justification for sole source acquisition is based on two primary factors: (1) AMC 4 – the data needed to acquire this part is not economically available from sources other than the manufacturer, and (2) AMSC D, indicating the technical data has undergone full screening per DFARS PGI 217.7506 Spare Parts Breakout Program. The data necessary to competitively acquire this component is not physically available, cannot be obtained economically, and adequate specifications cannot be drafted. The firm/supplier is encouraged to seek source approval through the Standardized Aviation and Missile Source Approval Request (SAMAR) process for future competition. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on cost and pricing data provided in accordance with FAR Part 15.
