This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form from DLA Aviation at Tinker AFB for the sole source procurement of 129 Case Compressor Air units (NSN 2840-01-035-2030 OK, Part Number 6029T29G08) from General Electric Company. The acquisition is a firm-fixed-price, fixed quantity contract with no options.

The sole source justification is based on GE being the only known source with manufacturing capability, as confirmed through market research conducted on November 16, 2021. A Sources Sought notice was posted on SAM.gov on October 4, 2021 with no responses received. The justification cites that GE declined to provide or sell data rights for this part to the Government in an October 7, 2020 letter, stating it represents core intellectual property. The acquisition will be synopsized on February 15, 2022. The AFLCMC/LPS engineering group will continue monitoring the marketplace for potential future source development opportunities. The justification was approved by the Head of Contracting Activity on December 13, 2024, as the procurement exceeds $15 million but is under $100 million.
