SPRTA126R0291_Redacted.pdf

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

The contracting activity seeks to acquire 128 units of a compressor blade (NSN 2840-01-695-0035 PR, part number 2814M91P01) on a firm-fixed-price, fixed quantity basis with no options. The estimated contract value is redacted but exceeds the full and open competition threshold. General Electric Company (CAGE 07482) has been identified as the sole source capable of furnishing the required supplies. The acquisition was posted as a Sources Sought notice on SAM.Gov on November 20, 2025, with a closing date of November 28, 2025, and no sources replied to the posting. The solicitation number is SPRTA1-26-R-0291, with the document identification number FD2030-26-00603.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition and selects AMC 3 (acquire from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC V (high reliability part with probability of failure that would be unacceptable) as the applicable acquisition method codes. The government determined that reverse engineering is economically infeasible due to the critical military application of the part. A market survey via Haystack, Parts Manufacturer Approvals, Google, and Thomas Register confirmed no commercial or substitute items are available. The synopsized acquisition is scheduled for May 19, 2026, and the contracting officer has certified that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable. The Contracting Officer (Breann Irving) approved this justification on May 29, 2026, as an acquisition not exceeding $10,000,000.
