SPRRA126R0021_Redacted JA.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (CUI Form S53, October 2025) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for the acquisition of cell fuel and aircraft supplies.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA-AVN-AHAB) is procuring supplies under solicitation number SPRRA1-26-R-0021 using a 1-year indefinite delivery/firm fixed price contract without options. The required item is cell fuel for aircraft, identified by NSN 1560-01-537-5290 and PN HM023-0226-21, with a quantity of 23 minimum and 33 maximum units. The acquisition is restricted to two approved sources only: Robertson Fuel Systems (CAGE 11765) and Kampi Components (CAGE 7Z016), both designated as sole sources due to military-unique requirements and limited commercial availability. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority, specifically AMC 4 (acquire for the first time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC D (data not economically available), as the basis for limiting competition. A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.gov on December 5, 2025, and closed on December 10, 2025, with no interested vendor responses received. The anticipated cost is fair and reasonable based on contractor-provided cost and pricing data per FAR 15.4. Approval authority lies with the Competition Advocate for contracts exceeding $900,000 but not exceeding $20 million, with certification by the Contracting Officer and Competition Advocate completed.
