Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Ogden, UT has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the sole source acquisition of a Hydraulic Start Motor (NSN 1650-01-669-3494). This justification supports a Firm Fixed Price 5-Year IDIQ contract for an estimated 300 units, with an estimated value between $750,000 and $15,000,000. The acquisition is restricted to Eaton Industries (CAGE 62983) due to proprietary data and lack of other capable sources. This notice was published on January 29, 2026.
Scope of Work
This acquisition is for the procurement of Hydraulic Start Motor (NSN/PN: 1650016693494YP/571999), which falls under the product service code 1650 (Aircraft Hydraulic, Vacuum And De Icing System Components).
Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price 5-Year IDIQ
- Estimated Quantity: 300 units
- Estimated Value: Over $750,000 and not exceeding $15,000,000 (based on approval level)
- Published Date: January 29, 2026
Justification for Sole Source
The statutory authority cited for this sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which applies when supplies or services are available from only one or a limited number of sources. A sources sought notice was posted on March 20, 2025, but no responses were received from industry. Eaton Industries is identified as the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies, as they own the complete data to manufacture the subject NSN and are unwilling to sell or license their proprietary data rights. Reverse engineering is deemed uneconomical due to the government's lack of experience, potential for underestimated time and funding, and the remaining life of the weapon system.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This is a justification for other than full and open competition, meaning it is not set aside for specific business categories but is restricted to a sole source.
Submission & Evaluation
Not applicable, as this document is a justification for a sole source acquisition and not a solicitation for proposals or bids.
Additional Notes
The document includes certifications from the Contracting Officer, Competition Advocate, and Head of Contracting Activity, confirming the approval of this sole source justification.
