This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The acquisition is for 83 Hydraulic Pump Units, with a one-time buy contract and firm fixed pricing. The source is BHPE, LLC (CAGE code 9SW7), which was the sole respondent to a Sources Sought notice posted on 2 July 2024. The acquisition is for a military unique spare part that is not available in the commercial marketplace, with two approved sources: Eaton Aerospace LLC (manufacturer) and Jamaica Bearings Co INC (approved distributor).

The document indicates the contract is over $15 million but under $100 million, requiring approval from the Head of Contacting Activity. The market research was conducted between 2-8 July 2024, with DLA Aviation planning to provide source approval instructions to the identified vendor. The justification cites AMC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC D (data needed to acquire the part is not economically available) as the basis for the sole source procurement. The contract was digitally signed by the Contacting Officer on 10 July 2024 and by the Competition Advocate on 16 July 2024.
