Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Oklahoma City has issued an Award Notice for the non-competitive acquisition of Body Assembly, Machine (NSN/PN: 1680-01-054-4843RK/4011-3). This action, justified by a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, confirms a sole-source award due to proprietary data and the absence of other capable sources.
