This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document issued by the Department of the Navy, DLA Aviation in Philadelphia, for the acquisition of spare parts for power unit auxiliary air compressors.

The procurement covers the acquisition of 20 units of POWER UNIT, AUX, AIRC (NSN 7R 2835-015283353, P/N 901-364-201-107) with an expected final delivery date of February 21, 2028. The J&A is based on 10 USC 3204(A)(1), authorizing acquisition from a sole source when only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy requirements. The technical rationale cites that the item is source-controlled, owned by Bell Helicopter (97499), with Pratt & Whitney (55820) as the sole listed authorized distributor. The government lacks sufficient technical data rights to permit acquisition from alternative sources. Bell Helicopter (97499) and Pratt & Whitney (55820) are identified as the only approved sources at this time. Market research conducted via government-wide point of entry on November 20, 2025, resulted in no other sources expressing interest. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. To promote future competition, DLA Aviation will encourage vendors to submit manufacturing or repair technical packages for source approval authority review. The J&A was created on September 16, 2025, and received final certification on August 12, 2026, by Competition Advocate William Cosenza.
