SPRTA126R1798_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) for a sole source acquisition submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.

The justification supports a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity acquisition of 25 F-110 Nozzle, Turbine, Airc units (NSN 2940-01-597-5184PR / 9547M21G07) from General Electric Company (CAGE 07482) under solicitation number SPRTAT-26-R-1798. A Sources Sought notice was posted to SAM.Gov on April 22, 2025, with a closing date of April 30, 2025, resulting in no responses. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from a sole source based on the manufacturer's capability to furnish the required items. The justification identifies the acquisition as restricted to General Electric Company as the only known source capable of supplying the required items. The primary basis for the sole source determination is that this is a critical safety item requiring engineering source approval to prevent risk during engine installation and flight, with qualification requirements covered by MQR-PSD-1 dated October 19, 2019. Technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The Government will continue monitoring the marketplace for source development and re-screening opportunities. Competition Advocate approval was obtained on October 20, 2025, and the Contracting Officer certified the justification on October 16, 2025.
