SPRTA126R0254_Redacted_JA.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53, FEB 2026). The Defense Logistics Agency is acquiring an electrical control box (NSN 1660011965999/11217-2) in a quantity of 22 each for DLA Weapons Support at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma under solicitation SPRTAT-26-R-0254. The acquisition is structured as a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity contract with no options and an estimated total value that is redacted.

The justification identifies Hamilton Sundstrand Corp. (CAGE 73030) as the sole source supplier, citing that drawing 11217-2 is proprietary and that the company has continued to refuse requests for data and rights release on multiple occasions (3/16/16, 8/22/16, and 2/7/18), with such refusals construed as negative responses to government requests with no further action to be taken. A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on 28 April 2026 with a closing date of 05 May 2026, resulting in no vendor interest. The market survey determined that no other responsible offerors would submit priced proposals and that no reasonable expectation exists for competitive bids. The contracting officer certified the anticipated cost as fair and reasonable, and the acquisition is approved at the contracting officer level (not exceeding $10,000,000). Future efforts to overcome competition barriers include continued marketplace monitoring and periodic requirement synopsis and screening for source availability changes.
