Quick Summary
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the acquisition of F-16 Transfer Units. The DLA Weapons Support Ogden is procuring these units on a sole-source basis from GE Aviation Systems LLC due to proprietary data restrictions.
Purpose & Scope
The DLA Weapons Support Ogden requires 9 Data Transfer Units (NSN/PN 7025-01-616-5061). This justification explains that the data necessary to acquire this part is proprietary to GE Aviation Systems LLC, not economically available from other sources (AMSC D), and GE is unwilling to sell it. Efforts to improve competition, including a sources sought notice posted on January 20, 2026, and exploring reverse engineering, did not yield alternative sources.
Contract Details
- Type: Firm Fixed Price contract.
- Estimated Value: While not explicitly stated for this specific acquisition, the approval level indicated in the J&A suggests the value could be over $20,000,000.
- Statutory Authority: 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) - Available from only one or limited number of sources.
- Published: May 28, 2026.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This acquisition is restricted to GE Aviation Systems LLC as the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies.
Additional Notes
This is a justification for a sole source acquisition, not a solicitation for proposals.
