SPRTA126R0183_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for the acquisition of alternative generators through a sole source and limited competition procurement.

The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, under solicitation number SPRTAT-26-R-0183. The requirement is for 18 alternative generators (NSN 6115-01-236-8434HY/9773330-3) with an estimated value that exceeds $900,000. The contract will be firm-fixed-price with fixed quantity and does not include options. The statutory authority for this other than full and open competition acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition from only one or a limited number of sources. A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on December 17, 2025, with a closing date of December 24, 2026; however, no sources responded to the posting. The acquisition is restricted to Hamilton Sundstrand (OEM) under CAGE 59167 and Intertrade Limited (Authorized Distributor) under CAGE 05VE9 as the only known sources capable of furnishing the required equipment. The justification cites AMSC R (Government does not own data or rights needed to purchase the part from another source) and AMSC 3 (acquire for second or subsequent time directly from manufacturer) as primary justifications, along with an "Other" basis indicating that efforts by the Government to purchase data use rights from Hamilton Sundstrand have failed, with the OEM's continued refusal construed as a negative response. The market survey was conducted by a multi-functional team and included inquiries to various manufacturers and dealers. The Contracting Officer, Kristian Hollingshead, certified the justification on March 12, 2026, and the acquisition is approved at the Contracting Officer level (not exceeding $900,000).
