This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole source procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. The procurement is for 50 "Shaft, Turbine, Aircr for F108" with a National Stock Number (NSN) of 2840-01-351-3401PN/301-290-107-0. The contract will be a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity type with no options, and CFM International is identified as the sole source for this highly specialized engine component.

The justification indicates that a Sources Sought notice was posted on SAM.gov on 15-Mar-2023, and market research confirmed no alternative sources exist. The procurement is being conducted under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically AMC 3 (acquiring directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC Z (commercial/no-developmental/off-the-shelf item). The government lacks the capability to qualify a source for this item, and pursuing alternative specifications would be cost and schedule prohibitive for the Air Force. The document is signed by the Contracting Officer and Competition Advocate, with approval levels checked for over $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000.
