SPRTA126R1525_Redacted.pdf

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

The acquisition concerns rotor, turbine, and aircraft components (NSN/PN: 2840-01-597-5182PR / 9547M19G13) with a quantity of 39 units each. The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support in Oklahoma City, OK, under solicitation number SPRTA1268152S. The contract type is firm-fixed-price with fixed quantity and will not include options. The sole source is General Electric Company (CAGE: 07482), which is the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies. The estimated total contract value exceeds the $900,000 threshold but does not exceed $20,000,000, requiring Competition Advocate approval.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority, with the primary basis being AMC 4 (acquire for the first time directly from the manufacturer). A Sources Sought notice and Request for Information were posted to SAM.Gov on March 18, 2025, with a closing date of March 26, 2025, resulting in no viable alternative sources indicating interest. The parts are designated AMSC V (high reliability components requiring specialized engineering controls) and have been determined to require reverse engineering that is technically infeasible and cost-prohibitive. A market survey confirmed that only General Electric manufactures these components for approved military applications. The synopsis for public solicitation is scheduled for September 30, 2025. No other sources have expressed written interest in the acquisition.
