About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation published this Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of 192 universal nozzle balls (NSN 1680-00-304-4697) over a 5-year period. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority for sole source acquisition, indicating that technical data is not available to permit full and open competition and that the available data reflects only the minimum needs of the government. While a sources sought notice was posted on August 26, 2024, which resulted in two contractor responses, neither submitted the required Source Approval Request (SAR) package, leaving Merrill Corporation as the only approved source. The contract was awarded to an undisclosed vendor (though Merrill Corporation is identified as the approved source) for an undisclosed amount on July 22, 2025, structured as a Firm Fixed-Price Indefinite Quantity Contract. The acquisition codes indicate this part requires engineering source approval (AMSC C) and involves miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components, highlighting the specialized nature of this aviation equipment procurement.
