This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. The procurement is for 363 F-15E Constant Speed Drives from Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation, with a firm-fixed-price contract type. The acquisition is being conducted under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically using the authority to acquire directly from the manufacturer for the first time.

Market research was conducted by a multi-functional team, which determined Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation to be the only source capable of fulfilling the requirement. The government does not own the data rights needed to purchase the part from additional sources, and it would be economically unfeasible to reverse engineer the item. The procurement is categorized as over $15 million but not exceeding $100 million, requiring approval from the Head of Contracting Activity. The 422 SCMS will continue to monitor the marketplace for potential alternative sources and periodically screen the item for changes in data and source availability.
