SPRTA125R0927_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for a sole source acquisition.

The acquisition pertains to F-110 Frame, Turbine, Aircraft components (NSN 2840-01-685-4338PR and 1461M87G26) with a quantity of 53 each. The procurement is for DLA Weapons Support at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, under solicitation number SPRTA1258O927. The contract type is Firm-Fixed-Price with Fixed Quantity and includes no options. The acquisition is being conducted under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition from a single source when the item is available only from one or limited number of sources. General Electric Company (CAGE 07482) is identified as the sole source. The justification cites two primary reasons for the sole source award: first, the data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available and cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft an adequate economic description for competitive solicitation; second, the item is a critical safety item requiring engineering source approval to prevent risk during engine installation and flight, and award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays to Air Force requirements. A Sources Sought notice was posted on SAM.Gov on January 27, 2025, with a closing date of February 4, 2025, which resulted in no responses. The synopsis requirement will be met on or about July 3, 2025. The contracting officer completed certification on October 22, 2025, with competition advocate approval also dated October 22, 2025.
