Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Ogden, UT has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of 17 F-16 Electronic Components. This is a sole source acquisition restricted to Lockheed Martin / ElbitAmerica due to proprietary data rights. The estimated value of this Firm Fixed Price contract is between $750,000 and $15,000,000.
Purpose & Scope
This document serves as a justification for awarding a contract for the F-16 Electronic Component (NSN/PN 5998013227746WF/16E10150-801) without full and open competition. The government requires 17 units of this specific component. Market research, including an RFI/SSS posted on SAM.gov on March 20, 2024, commercial catalog reviews, and procurement history, indicated no other sources capable of meeting the requirement. The data for this component is proprietary to Lockheed Martin / ElbitAmerica, and reverse engineering is not feasible.
