SPRTA126R0033_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

The acquisition involves 24 electro-mechanical actuators (NSN 1680-01-077-3420 / 16K0745-5) from Lockheed Martin Corporation (CAGE 81755). The contract type is Firm-Fixed-Price with Fixed Quantity and includes no options. The estimated value is redacted but noted as under $900,000, qualifying for Contracting Officer approval. The solicitation number is SPRTA1268033, and the contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. This is a new action under FAR Part 15.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority for limiting competition. The primary basis is Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC) 1C, indicating it is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. Additionally, AMSC C applies because the part requires engineering source approval from the design control activity to maintain quality. The company has unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge that qualify it as the sole source. Market research was conducted on October 13, 2025, through multiple government personnel, confirming no other sources can meet requirements. A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on February 13, 2025 (closing March 15, 2025) with no responses received. The acquisition is scheduled for synopsis on October 22, 2025. The Contracting Officer certified the justification on October 22, 2025.
