SPRRA124R0059_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Form S53) for a sole source acquisition of a Cylinder Assembly, A component (NSN 1650012637856 / 7-3180000011-5) in a quantity of 96mm/500 max. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is the contracting agency, with the solicitation number SPRRA1-24-R-0059, and this is classified as a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under FAR Part 15.

The justification identifies two approved sources: Woodward HRT, Inc. (CAGE 81873) and The Boeing Company (CAGE 8V613). The acquisition is restricted to these sources only, as they are the sole suppliers capable of furnishing the required cylinder assembly. The contracting officer determined that the Government's needs cannot be met by items available in the commercial marketplace, and technical data is not available to permit full and open competition. A sources sought notice/Request for Information (RFI) was posted on May 1, 2024 on Contract Opportunities, which resulted in no responses. The justification cites AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC P (data rights not owned by the Government and cannot be purchased, developed, or otherwise obtained) as the basis for sole source authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The Competition Advocate approved the justification on May 23, 2024, and the Contracting Officer certified approval on May 22, 2024 for an estimated acquisition value exceeding $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000.
