This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Sole Source Justification) for the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. The procurement is for 90 Hydraulic Servo Valves for T-38 Aircraft, with a specific National Stock Number (NSN) 1650-00-137-7073. The contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price type with fixed quantity, and the statutory authority for limited competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), indicating the item is available from only one or limited number of sources.

The justification indicates that a Sources Sought notice was posted on 30-Dec-2024 with no sources replying, and the acquisition is restricted to Thomas Instrument Incorporated (CAGE 5H860). The document notes that the data needed to acquire this part is not economically available through other means, and a technical certification is required since the estimated value exceeds $15 million. The 423 SCMS will continue to monitor the marketplace for potential sources and periodically screen the item for changes in source availability. The document is signed by the Contracting Officer, Competition Advocate, and is pending Head of Contracting Activity approval as of 26-Mar-2025 and 28-Mar-2025.
