Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the acquisition of structural support items (NSN 1560-013421722/6F100113-002 & L4100113-002). This JOFOC explains the rationale for procuring these items on a limited competition basis, as technical data is not available for full and open competition. The acquisition is for 64 units of "SUPPORT, STRUCTURAL" under a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) LARGE BUY RFP contract.
Purpose & Scope
This document serves as a justification for the procurement of specific structural support components, identified by NSN 1560-013421722/6F100113-002 & L4100113-002, for DLA Aviation. The purpose is to acquire 64 units of "SUPPORT, STRUCTURAL" due to the unavailability of technical data necessary to permit full and open competition. The acquisition is being pursued under statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition from only one or a limited number of sources.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) - LARGE BUY RFP
- Product/Service Code: 1560 (Airframe Structural Components)
- Quantity: 64 units
- Estimated Value: Implied to be between $750,000 and $15,000,000, based on approval levels.

Eligibility / Competition
This acquisition is restricted to the only source(s) known to possess the capability to furnish the required supplies. Efforts to improve competition included a Sources Sought notice posted on August 7, 2025, which received one response. The JOFOC explicitly states that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. However, a synopsis will be posted in Contracting Opportunities to allow other manufacturers to submit Source Approval Request (SAR) packages.
Additional Notes
This is a justification document, not a solicitation for proposals. The contracting officer, competition advocate, and head of contracting activity have reviewed and approved this justification. Interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements should monitor for the synopsis and prepare to submit SAR packages.
