SPRTA125R0303_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI - Controlled Unclassified Information) filed by the Defense Logistics Agency for a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 15.

The acquisition involves 324 units of F-16 Pump, Fuel, Metering (NSN 2915-01-147-2644RK/44143) for DLA Aviation at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The contract is firm fixed-price with fixed quantity and includes no options. The total estimated dollar value is redacted, and the maximum dollar value is listed as N/A. The solicitation number is SPRTA1-25-R-0303, with a synopsis posted to SAM.Gov on January 28, 2025, with a closing date of April 2, 2025. The sources sought notice resulted in no responses from potential suppliers.

The justification is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that supplies are available only from one or limited sources. The sole approved source is Eaton Corporation (CAGE 86090). The acquisition is justified under AMSC Code 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC P (the rights to use data needed to purchase this part from additional sources are not owned by the Government). Technical data is not available to permit full and open competition, and reverse engineering is uneconomical. Market research confirmed that Eaton Corporation is the only known source satisfying the Government's requirements. The document was approved by the Contracting Officer on May 8, 2025, and the Competition Advocate approved it on May 2, 2025.
