SPRTA125R0011_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for a sole source acquisition with General Electric Company (CAGE 07482). The acquisition concerns 128 units of an air compressor blade (NSN 2940-01-695-0035 PR, part number 2814M91P01) for DLA Aviation at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma under solicitation number SPRTA1-25-R-0011. The contract is firm-fixed-price with fixed quantity and includes no options. The estimated total value is redacted but the maximum dollar value is listed as N/A.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limited competition. The primary basis for sole sourcing is AMSC V, indicating this part has been designated a high reliability item where probability of failure would be unacceptable and engineering activity has determined that data to define and control reliability limits cannot be obtained. An additional rationale cites that reverse engineering is economically unfeasible due to the critical application of the part. A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on May 12, 2025 (response deadline May 20, 2025) with no interested sources requesting consideration. Market research was conducted via Haystack, Parts Manufacturer Approvals, and web searches on May 20, 2025, confirming no commercial item is available. The acquisition will be synopsized on October 2, 2025. The Contracting Officer certified the justification on October 6, 2025.
