Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition

This is an AVN Form S53 justification document for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support, and the solicitation number is SPRTA1268D273.

The acquisition involves 26 units of a Control Generator (NSN/PN: 6110012305147HY/51517-010B) with a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity contract structure and no options. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for sole source procurement. The sole source is Safran Power USA LLC (CAGE: 3CPE0). The acquisition is restricted to this single source because the required drawing (515517-010B) is not available in A-TEAM or MEDALS systems, and Safran Power USA LLC has stated that data and data rights will not be provided to the government. The contracting officer determined that the data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, cannot be obtained economically, and adequate specifications cannot be drafted for competitive solicitation. A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on 18 June 2025 with a closing date of 25 June 2025, resulting in no interested vendors. The synopsis will be published on or about 20 May 2026, with solicitation copies available upon request. The contracting officer certified that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable, and supporting technical data has been certified as complete and accurate. Approval authority is at the Contracting Officer level (not exceeding $10,000,000).
