This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form for a sole source acquisition submitted by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond). The agency is acquiring 49 units of aircraft skin (NSN 1560016032692/PN-527-13437-1) from The Boeing Company (CAGE 82918) under solicitation number SPE4A526R0043. The contract type is firm fixed price with no options, and the estimated total value is redacted.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. §3204(a)(1) as statutory authority for the acquisition, specifically citing Alternate Management Code 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC D (data needed to acquire the part is not economically available). A sources sought notice/RFI was posted on 10/3/25 on Contract Opportunities, resulting in one response from Ayka Consulting 1 with no cage code. The acquisition is restricted to the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies. Additional facts supporting the sole source determination indicate that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, with available data reflecting only minimum government needs. The market survey included review of historical contracts, AMPL approved sources, sources sought listing, and synopsis posting. The contracting officer (Annette Pruett) certified the justification on 10/20/25, the Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin) approved on 10/23/25, and the justification falls within the $900,000 to $20 million approval threshold requiring Competition Advocate signature.
