This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition acquisition submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for the DLA Weapons Support activity at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma under solicitation number SPRTA1-28-R-0004.

The acquisition concerns 85 units of TF-33 Vibrator, Ignition C components (NSN 2925-01-421-7473RV, AMSC 10-614500-1) on a firm-fixed-price basis with no options. The sole source contractor is Unison Industries, LLC (CAGE 59501). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority for the non-competitive procurement based on Alternate Management Code (AMC) 3 - direct acquisition from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time - and indicates that data rights constraints under AMSC P and "Other" categories prevent competitive sourcing. The Government determined that the TF-33 vibrator is a critical aviation safety component within the aircraft engine system on the TF-33, a highly specialized component of a major weapon system where development of alternative sources is not feasible within allowable timeframes. A Sources Sought notice was posted on SAM.Gov on June 23, 2025 with a closing date of July 1, 2025, resulting in no responses. Market research was conducted via Haystack, Parts Manufacturer Approvals, Google, Thomas Register, and manufacturer websites. The anticipated contract value was estimated, though the specific dollar amount is redacted. The contracting officer certified the justification as accurate on January 26, 2026.
