Other / Unclassified

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) under FAR 12.102(a). It seeks approval to award a sole source order for two (2) Torque Multipliers, Digital P/N: SWE8550-RR, which are essential for maintaining the HC-130J aircraft.

The justification cites FAR 12.102(a) as the authority, indicating that only one source is reasonably available. Hydratight Operations Inc.
