SPRTA125R0299_Redacted.pdf

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

The acquisition pertains to E3 Indicator Liquid OU (NSN 6680-01-018-3998RK/4006240), with a quantity of 83 units. The contracting activity is DLA Aviation at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, under solicitation number SPRTA1-25-R-0299. This is a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity contract with no options. The sole source contractor identified is Simmonds Precision Products, Inc. (CAGE 89305). The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on AMC 3 authority (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC P authority (proprietary data rights restriction). A Sources Sought notice was posted on SAM.Gov on January 29, 2025, with a closing date of February 5, 2025, resulting in no responses expressing interest. Market research confirmed that Simmonds Precision Products Inc. is the only approved source capable of fulfilling the requirement, with continued refusal to answer requests for data rights release on drawing 4006240 construed as a negative response. The acquisition includes the finding that reverse engineering is uneconomical and that technical data is unavailable, preventing full and open competition. The synopsis is scheduled for April 24, 2025. The Competition Advocate approved the justification on May 31, 2025, with the Contracting Officer signature dated May 21, 2025.
