SPRTA126R0101_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency.

The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, under solicitation number SPRAT-26-R-0101. The acquisition concerns the procurement of 252 case compressor air units (NSN: 2840-01-035-2030 OK; Part Number: 6029T29G08) from General Electric Company (CAGE 99207). The contract type is Firm-Fixed-Price with Fixed Quantity and will not include options. The total estimated dollar value is redacted but exceeds $20 million and not exceeding $150 million, requiring Head of Contracting Activity approval. A technical certification is required for acquisitions over $15 million.

The justification for limiting competition to a single source rests on AMSC code P and AMSC code 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer for a subsequent time). The item is restricted to General Electric as the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies. Key supporting rationale includes that Drawing 6029129 (Revision V) has limited rights in JEDMICS as of December 4, 2024, and GE declined to provide or sell data rights to the Government, citing that its intellectual property represents the core foundation of its business. A market survey conducted on March 18, 2025 confirmed the part is a commercial item available since 2017 with no additional sources identified. A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on May 9, 2025 (Document Identification FD2030-25-00971) with a closing date of May 19, 2025, but no sources replied. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about December 30, 2025. The document is controlled by DLA Weapons Support AO and marked FED ONLY for distribution and dissemination control. Contracting Officer Keith Russ signed the justification on December 8, 2025, with Competition Advocate and Head of Contracting Activity approvals dated January 5, 2026 and with signature authority documented accordingly.
