Evaluation & Source Rationale
Award will be based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria. A Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) cites 10 USC 3204(A)(1) / FAR 6.302-1, identifying Sargent Aerospace & Defense, LLC (CAGE 78062) as the only capable source. This is due to the government not owning the necessary technical data or rights, and it being uneconomical to acquire them or reverse engineer the parts. Previous market research and synopses yielded no responses.
