SPRTA126R0245_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition acquisition under FAR Part 15.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is acquiring 150 servovalves (hydraulic for F5/T38 aircraft) with NSN 1665000960707 / 6U6009-1 through a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity contract. The total estimated dollar value is redacted, with no options included. The acquisition is being conducted as a new action under solicitation number SPRTAT-26-R-0245 for DLA Weapons Support at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC P (rights to use data needed to purchase the part from additional sources are not owned by the Government). Market research was conducted via Haystack, Parts Manufacturer Approvals, Google, Thomas Register, and similar resources, confirming that Thomas Instrument, Inc. (CAGE 5H860) is the only known source able to fulfill the requirement. A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on February 2, 2026, with a closing date of February 9, 2026, resulting in no responses. The synopsis will be posted on April 14, 2026, and solicitation copies will be provided upon request. No other sources indicated interest in writing. The Government will continue to synopsize the requirement and re-screen the item for future source availability. The Contracting Officer certified approval on April 23, 2026.
