This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The procurement is for 1,668 J85 Spraybar, Pilot Afte components (NSN 2915-00-782-1750K) from Collins Engine Nozzles, Inc., with a firm-fixed-price contract type. The acquisition is being made under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically using AMSC code B and AMC code 3, which allows direct acquisition from the manufacturer when technical data rights are specified on a source control drawing.

The market research for this acquisition included searches on Parts Manufacturer Approvals, IHS Haystack, and web searches. The government will continue to monitor the marketplace for source development. The contract has been approved at the competition advocate level for over $750,000 but not exceeding $15 million, with key signatures from the Contracting Officer (Jeremy Bryant on 22-Apr-2025) and the Competition Advocate (Tracy Clendennen on 27-Apr-2025). The document indicates that reverse engineering is not feasible due to the AMSC "B" coding, and no other sources were identified as having interest in the acquisition.
