SPRRA224R0068_Redacted JA.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition acquisition. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is procuring Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) equipment (NSN 5855-01-518-8691/687549) in a quantity of 100 minimum to 500 maximum units from L-3 Communications Cincinnati Electronics Corporation (CAGE 80045). The contract is a 5-year indefinite delivery requirement with no options included, and the total estimated dollar value has been redacted from the document.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for restricting competition, specifically under 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). A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted on Contract Opportunities on 16 May 2024, resulting in one interested response from BHPE LLC on 17 May 2024. The acquisition is scheduled to be synopsized on or about 17 June 2024. The justification identifies the item as a spare part procured with an approved part number and represents a military unique requirement not available in the commercial marketplace. Approvals have been obtained from the Competition Advocate, Contracting Officer (for acquisitions not exceeding $750,000), and the Head of Contracting Activity (for acquisitions over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million).
