This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) for Sole Source and Limited Competition acquisition submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The justification approves procurement of processors and interfaces for the B-2 Aircraft (NSN 5895-01-577-5557/PN 292A900-21), with a quantity of 5 units and an estimated value in excess of $750,000.

The acquisition is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price, Fixed Quantity contract with no options. Lockheed Martin Corp (CAGE 03640) is identified as the sole qualified source capable of fulfilling the requirement. The justification cites multiple grounds for restricting competition: the government lacks proprietary manufacture data and cannot qualify additional sources, the item requires engineering source approval to maintain quality (AMSC C), and the government does not possess or have access to proprietary manufacturing data necessary to qualify Lockheed Martin as the only known source. A market survey was conducted from September 1, 2022 through September 21, 2023, which confirmed no commercial or non-developmental substitutes are available. The solicitation (SPRTA1-24-R-0072) was posted on February 26, 2024, with a synopsis posted on March 6, 2024 (amended April 6, 2024); neither posting generated source responses. The justification received Competition Advocate approval on April 24, 2024, and Contracting Officer approval on April 16, 2024, with planned synopsis publication on February 25, 2024.
