This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition, an AVN Form S53 (November 2024) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

The document justifies a sole source acquisition from The Boeing Company (CAGE 76301) for structural support supplies under NSN/PN 1560017294740, with a quantity of 625 units. The contract is structured as a 1-year fixed price agreement without options. The acquisition was conducted under FAR Part 15, with the solicitation number SPF4A525R0340 and contracting activity FMCC. A Request for Information was posted on the Contract Opportunities website on September 16, 2025, which resulted in two responses. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for the non-competitive action, with primary justifications being AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC D (data needed to acquire the part is not economically available). Additional sources expressing interest in the acquisition are Quality Welding and Fab., LLC (CAGE 393D8) and ATZ Solution LLC (CAGE 9LYF8). The justification was approved by the Competition Advocate on September 23, 2025, and the Contracting Officer (Scott Brunner) certified it on September 22, 2025. The acquisition value falls within the Competition Advocate approval threshold of over $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000. The document indicates a synopsis was planned for approximately September 27, 2025, with solicitation copies to be provided upon request.
