This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (AVN Form S53) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. The acquisition is for the new manufacture of a Countermeasure Receiver for the B-2 Aircraft, with a quantity of 74 units. The contract is a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity type with no options, and the statutory authority is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which allows procurement from only one or limited number of sources.

A market survey was conducted on September 25, 2023, by a multi-functional team including logistics management specialists and product managers. The research revealed no commercial process available to meet the requirement. The document indicates that the item is AMSC P coded, meaning reverse engineering is uneconomical. The acquisition will be synopsized on 05-Feb-2024, and the 424 SCMS will continue to monitor the marketplace for potential sources. The approval levels for this justification range from Competition Advocate to Head of Contacting Activity, depending on the contract value, with signatures from key personnel including the DLA Aviation Deputy Chief Counsel, Contraction Officer, Competition Advocate, and pending Head of Contacting Activity approval.
