This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition, submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.

The acquisition concerns a mechanical actuator (NSN 1680012210048RK/458-50009-508) with a quantity of 81 units maximum and an estimated value that is redacted. The contract type is Firm-Fixed-Price with Fixed Quantity and will not include options. The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or limited sources. A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on February 11, 2026, with a closing date of February 18, 2026; no sources responded to the posting. The single identified source is Marathonmorco Aerospace Inc. (CAGE 08844), selected based on source control drawing 458-50009, as the item must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on the source control drawing with suitable technical data and government data rights not available from other sources. Additional efforts to ensure competitive offers will include continued marketplace monitoring and periodic requirement synopsizing. The contracting officer, Kevin Howe, certified the justification on May 6, 2026. Approval authority is delegated to the Contracting Officer for acquisitions not exceeding $10,000,000.
