This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) submitted by the Department of the Navy, DLA Aviation in Philadelphia.

The Navy seeks to procure 28 units of F414 HPT Container spare parts (NSN 8145-013567050, P/N 579E001-1) through a non-competitive contract award with an expected final delivery date of June 30, 2027. The contracting activity is DLA Aviation - Philadelphia, with Sheila Bulusu serving as the Item Manager and Benjamin Wechter as the Equipment Specialist. The justification cites 10 USC 3204(A)(1) as the statutory authority, asserting that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The rationale indicates this part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality and existing unique design capability. The approved sources are (7MH71) CONTRACT INDUSTRIAL TOOLING, INC., (4UE86) ARMOR METAL GROUP (05259), and CONTAINER RESEARCH CORP., with the contract to be solicited exclusively to these sources due to the complex nature of container manufacturing, specialized tooling requirements, critical dimensional tolerances, and proven fabrication techniques. Market research was conducted on May 27, 2026, with no other sources expressing interest. The Navy determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, and plans to encourage future competition by promoting a complete source approval package (SAP) through NAVSUP WSS N241 engineering and advertising future requirements on the government-wide point of entry.
