SPRTA126R0553_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for the acquisition of blade sets for fan aircraft components.

The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, with solicitation number SPRTA1268053. The acquisition involves 159 purchase requisitions for blade sets (NSN/PN 2840011966053NP/PN 301-291-942-0) on a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity basis with no option periods. The estimated total contract value is redacted. The sole source is CFM INTERNATIONAL INC (CAGE 58828). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority, with the basis for sole source acquisition designated as AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC V (critical part with unacceptable failure probability from safety standpoint; reliability limits cannot be adequately created by government), along with an additional "Other" justification stating that reverse engineering is unfeasible and far exceeds potential cost savings due to part complexity and criticality.

A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on March 5, 2026, with a closing date of March 12, 2026, resulting in no responses. The acquisition was synopsized on March 23, 2028, and any firm requesting a solicitation copy will be provided one. The justification requires approval at the Competition Advocate level (over $10 million but not exceeding $100 million). The Contracting Officer, Competition Advocate, and Head of Contracting Activity have all certified and approved the justification, with signatures dated March 23-24, 2026.
