Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Oklahoma City, OK has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the sole-source acquisition of Aircraft Door Access (NSN 1560-01-305-4761). This action justifies awarding a Firm-Fixed-Price, Fixed Quantity contract to Northrop Grumman System Corporation for two units, with an estimated value not exceeding $900,000.
Purpose & Justification
This document justifies a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 15 and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that the required Aircraft Door Access item is available from only one or limited sources. A Sources Sought notice posted on SAM.gov from July 17-24, 2024, received no replies, confirming the lack of other capable sources. Northrop Grumman System Corporation (CAGE 78JW8) is identified as the only source possessing the necessary data, parts, expertise, tools, and processes. Efforts to acquire data use rights from Northrop Grumman were unsuccessful, and the Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC) 4P indicates it is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part.
