This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) form for a sole source acquisition submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support activity at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.

The acquisition concerns aircraft nozzle and turbine components (NSN/PN: 2840-01-632-58000K/6029T45G14) with a quantity of 3 units. The procurement is structured as a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity contract with no options and is being conducted under FAR Part 15. The sole source contractor is General Electric Company (CAGE 99207). Statutory authority for this limitation of competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically citing AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (part requires source approval by design control activity to maintain quality), along with an additional rationale that the item is AMSC "C" coded and reverse engineering is uneconomical. A Sources Sought notice (FD2030-25-00650) was posted to SAM.Gov on May 21, 2026, with a closing date of June 21, 2026, resulting in no responses. Market research was conducted on June 22, 2026, confirming no commercial alternatives or non-developmental substitutes are available. The justification is approved at the Contracting Officer level (not exceeding $10,000,000) and is dated August 11, 2026. Technical certification requirement applies per FAR 6.104(b), and a technical certification note indicates that acquisitions over $15 million require such certification.
