SPRTA125R0019_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document for a sole source acquisition submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, under solicitation number SPRTA125R0019, with document identification number FD2030-24-01466.

The acquisition involves two items: Disk, Turbine Aircraft (NSN 2840-01-443-4088NZ / 4084113-01, quantity 27 EA) and CEMS Tracking (quantity 1 LL). The contract is structured as Firm-Fixed-Price, Fixed Quantity with no options included. The total estimated dollar value is redacted but falls in a range requiring Competition Advocate approval (over $900,000 but not exceeding $20,000,000). The sole source justification is authorized under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for items available only from one or limited number of sources. The acquisition is restricted to RTX Corporation (CAGE 52661) based on sole source capability.

The Government's justification relies on multiple factors including: a Sources Sought notice posted to SAM.Gov on 03-February-2026 with a closing date of 10 February 2026 that resulted in no responses; market research completed 3 February 2026 confirming no commercial alternatives exist; technical data unavailability preventing full and open competition; and the Government's inability to perform engineering source approval. The contracting officer (Jeremy Bryant, GS-12) signed the justification on 09-February-2026, with Competition Advocate approval (Christopher Lally) dated 18 February 2026. The approval level indicates Competition Advocate authority for acquisitions over $900,000 but not exceeding $20 million.
