This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition, filed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation – AHAC contracting activity for solicitation number SPRRA1-26-Q-0022.

The acquisition concerns TEST SET AIRCRAFT E, identified by NSN/PN 4920-01-602-5597 / 09-1009-02, with a quantity of 10 units. This is a single purchase (one-time buy) contract with no options included. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), available from only one or limited number of sources. The sole source contractor is ULTRATRAX AEROSPACE (CAGE: 07PR7). The acquisition is restricted to the only source known to have the capability of furnishing the required supplies. The justification cites AMSC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC D (data needed to acquire this part is not economically available) as the basis for the sole source determination.

Efforts to improve competition included posting a sources sought notice/Request for Information (RFI) on Contract Opportunities on 3/2/2026, which resulted in no responses to date. A market survey was conducted, with market research efforts including contact with knowledgeable individuals in government and industry, review of recent market research results, and participation in interactive communication among acquisition personnel. The document notes that anticipated costs to the Government are fair and reasonable. Actions to overcome barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition include posting a sources sought notice and posting a synopsis on or about 3/12/2026, with firms encouraged to seek source approval by emailing usarmy.redstone.devcom-avmc.mbx.amr-ss-sar@army.mil. The Contracting Officer (Imelda Chagolla) signed the justification on 6 March 2026, with approval authority at the Contracting Officer level for acquisitions not exceeding $900,000.
