This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The procurement is for 4 Rotor/Generator Aircrafts for the F110, to be acquired from General Electric Company as the sole source. The contract will be a Firm-Fixed-Price, Fixed Quantity type with no options, and the acquisition is being justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) using Acquisition Method Code (AMC) 3 - acquiring directly from the manufacturer.

A Sources Sought notice was posted on 27-Jun-2023 with a closing date of 5 July 2023. The market research included internet searches using Haystack, Parts Manufacturer Approvals, Google, Thomas Register, manufacturer websites, government databases (IHS, PRPS), and the AbilityOne program. The sole source contractor (GE) continuously refuses to provide data, and developing additional sources would cause an unacceptable delay to the mission. The document indicates the government will continue to attempt to obtain data rights and survey the market for potential alternative sources. The acquisition is approved by the Competition Advocate and will be processed through DLA Aviation at Tinker AFB, OK.
