Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Ogden, UT has published an Award Notice for the non-competitive acquisition of an F-16 Valve, Solenoid. This contract action was restricted to Honeywell due to proprietary data rights and the absence of other approved sources. The acquisition is for 24 units of the solenoid valve.
Scope of Work
This award covers the procurement of 24 units of a specific VALVE, SOLENOID (NSN/PN: 4810-01-099-6392) for the F-16 aircraft. The item is manufactured using Honeywell (CAGE 70210) manufacturing drawings and is controlled under Lockheed specification control drawing 16VH003006-2.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Firm Fixed Price
- Set-Aside: Not applicable; this was a sole source award.
- Award Notice Published: April 1, 2026
Justification & Evaluation
This contract was awarded on a sole source basis, justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition without full and open competition when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. A sources sought notice was posted on January 12, 2026, but no responses were received from industry. The agency determined that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and the available data reflects the minimum needs of the Government.
Additional Notes
The specific item requires manufacturing drawings and specifications with Limited Data Rights, held by Honeywell. The agency has made efforts to overcome barriers to competition, including regular inquiries to manufacturers regarding proprietary data rights and analysis of reverse engineering feasibility. An additional proposal was received, but it was from a Honeywell vendor, reinforcing the sole source determination.
