This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form submitted by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) for a sole source acquisition from The Boeing Company (CAGE 81205).

The acquisition involves 45 units of a Feed Mechanism, Rudd (NSN 1880013550053/PN-65-39753-501) under Solicitation Number SPF4A526R0094. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price agreement without options. A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted on Contract Opportunities on November 12, 2025, resulting in one response from ATZ Solution LLC. The justification cites statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for limited competition, with AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time) and AMSC P (rights to use data for purchasing from additional sources are not owned by the Government) selected as the basis for the sole source award. A market survey was conducted including historical contract reviews, AMPL source reviews, and a sources sought listing. The Competition Advocate has approved this justification, which requires approval from the Head of Contracting Activity due to the estimated value exceeding $20 million but not exceeding $150 million. The estimated value and maximum dollar value are redacted in the document. Technical data unavailability is cited as the primary barrier to competition, with plans to post a synopsis to encourage other manufacturers to submit source approval request packages for future procurements.
