The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of 36 LONGERON units (NSN/PN 1560-011416012/342986-13). This action is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that the supplies are available from only one or a limited number of responsible sources. The estimated value of this acquisition is between $900,000 and $20,000,000.
Purpose & Scope
This justification outlines the requirement for 36 units of "LONGERON" (NSN/PN 1560-011416012/342986-13), an airframe structural component. The acquisition aims to fulfill the government's minimum needs, as technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition.

- Anticipated Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) - Large Buy RFP.
- Estimated Value: Over $900,000 not exceeding $20,000,000.
- Place of Performance: Grassy Creek, VA.
- Published Date: January 28, 2026.
Justification & Market Research
The justification is based on the determination that the required LONGERON units are available from only one or a limited number of sources. Market research included a sources sought notice posted on October 9, 2025, which yielded responses from two vendors (CAGE 3H683 and 23162). The acquisition is restricted to sources known to have the capability, specifically identifying Lockheed Martin Corp (CAGE 98897), Frazier Aviation Inc (CAGE 23162), and International Precision, Inc (CAGE 3H683). Efforts to ensure offers are solicited from as many practicable sources include synopsizing the acquisition and making solicitation copies available.
Eligibility & Action Items
This acquisition is being conducted on an other than full and open competition basis. To overcome barriers to competition, DLA Aviation will post a synopsis to allow interested manufacturers to submit Source Approval Request (SAR) packages. This justification has been approved by the Contracting Officer and Competition Advocate. Contact: Calvin Peterson at Calvin.Peterson@dla.mil or 804-659-8838.
