This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Sole Source Justification) form for a Defense Logistics Agency acquisition.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma is acquiring lubricating cooler supplies/services on a sole source basis from Triumph Thermal Systems, Inc. (CAGE 78943) under solicitation number SPRTA1-25-R-0069. The acquisition is for a maximum of 29 units with an estimated value exceeding $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000, structured as a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity contract with no options. The item is assigned NSN 2935-01-324-9087NZ and AMSC code 4069429. A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on August 14, 2024, with a closing date of August 22, 2024, resulting in no interested vendors. The restriction to sole source is based on statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), justified under AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time) and AMSC B (item must be acquired from manufacturing source specified on source control drawing), as well as an "Other" rationale citing that suitable technical data, government data rights, and manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources. Market research conducted from August 14 through October 8, 2024 confirmed that only the identified source possesses the applicable data required to manufacture this part. The Competition Advocate approved the justification on January 3, 2025, and the Contracting Officer certified approval on December 19, 2024.
