SPRTA124R0187_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition, prepared by the Defense Logistics Agency for a weapons support acquisition at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.

The acquisition seeks 42 units of F-16 Circuit Card Assembly (NSN 5998-01-565-7854HY / 709319-2) on a Firm-Fixed-Price, Fixed Quantity basis. The solicitation number is SPRTAT-24-R-0187, issued under FAR Part 15. The requirement is restricted to a single source—Symetrics Industries, LLC (CAGE 22830)—based on authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The acquisition is coded AMSC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC P (data rights not owned by the Government). A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on 09-Mar-2026 with a closing date of 16-Mar-2026; no sources replied to the posting. A market survey conducted through multiple channels (Haystack, Parts Manufacturer Approvals, Google, and Thomas Register) found no competing vendors willing to supply the item. The Government determined anticipated costs to be fair and reasonable pending price analysis and potential certified cost or data analysis if the proposed amount exceeds the TINA threshold. No other sources expressed interest in the acquisition. The justification identifies the item as AMSC coded "P" with reverse engineering deemed infeasible, supporting the sole-source determination. The Contracting Officer approved this justification on 23-Mar-2026.
