This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) for a sole source acquisition.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma is acquiring 18 units of F-100 Control, Exhaust Nozzle (NSN 2995-01-433-6462, Part Number 441944-10) from Honeywell International, Inc. (CAGE 06848) on a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity basis with no options. The estimated total contract value is redacted. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for limited competition because the part is restricted to Honeywell as the only known source capable of supplying the required item. The justification cites AMSC B coding (manufacturing source specified on source control drawing) and notes that reverse engineering is not feasible. A Sources Sought notice (FD2030-25-00205) was posted to SAM.Gov on August 27, 2024, with a September 4, 2024 closing date; no sources replied to the posting. The contracting activity planned to synopsize the acquisition on November 25, 2024. Market research was conducted from August through September 2024, including searches on Parts Manufacturer Approvals, IHS Haystack, and Google. The item cannot be satisfied with a commercial or modified commercial product. No other firms expressed interest in the acquisition. The justification is approved by the Competition Advocate (over $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000 threshold), with signatures dated May 14, 2025 (Contracting Officer) and May 23, 2025 (Competition Advocate). DLA Counsel Aviation signature block is included but not executed.
