SPRTA126R0047_Redacted.pdf

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

The acquisition concerns 215 Vane Segment Fans (NSN/PN: 2840-01-619-4075NZ / 4089090-03) for DLA Weapons Support at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma under solicitation number SPRTAT-26-R-0047. The contract type is Firm-Fixed-Price with Fixed Quantity and will not include options. The sole source is RTX Corporation (CAGE 52661). The estimated total dollar value of the acquisition is withheld from public disclosure, and a technical certification on file indicates data is not available to permit full and open competition.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on multiple factors: a Sources Sought notice (Document FD2030-25-01799) was posted to SAM.Gov on May 8, 2025, with a closing date of May 30, 2025, resulting in no responses; the item is AMSC coded "P," indicating data rights are not owned by the government and reverse engineering is not feasible; and technical data is unavailable, preventing competitive acquisition. Additional supporting documentation notes that RTX Corporation is the original equipment manufacturer and currently the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the requirements. The government intends to continue synopsizing the requirement, rescreening the item, and monitoring the marketplace for potential alternative sources in future acquisitions. The Competition Advocate and Contracting Officer approved the justification on October 22-23, 2025.
