This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53, FEB 2026), submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for a weapons support acquisition at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.

The procurement involves the acquisition of 211 units of a compressor air blade (NSN/PN 2840016950035FR/2814M91P01) under a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity contract with no options. The estimated value is redacted but subject to a total estimated dollar value and maximum dollar value both redacted. The sources sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on April 21, 2026, with a closing date of April 28, 2026; no sources responded to the posting. The acquisition is restricted to General Electric Company (CAGE 07482), identified as the only source capable of supplying the required item. The justification cites the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on AMC 3 (acquire from manufacturer for second or subsequent time) and AMSC V (critical reliability part with unacceptable failure risk), with an additional "Other" justification noting the part's complexity and risk to life and property, making reverse engineering infeasible. The contracting officer completed the justification on June 2, 2026, with approval authority at the contracting officer level (not exceeding $10,000,000). The acquisition includes a market survey conducted by the contract buy team ending on May 28, 2026, which confirmed General Electric as the sole capable source. Section 6 requires a technical certification from requirements personnel supporting the justification.
