Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Aviation - Richmond has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the sole-source acquisition of 36 FLAMEHOLDER, AFTERBU (NSN 2840-01-450-3755; P/N 6056T68G11). This acquisition, under Solicitation Number SPE4A524Q0321, will be awarded to General Electric (CAGE 99207) on a Firm Fixed Price basis, with an estimated value between $750,000 and $15,000,000. This document explains why the opportunity is not open for competitive bidding.
Purpose of Justification
The JOFOC cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the legal basis, supported by Acquisition Method Suffix Codes (AMSC) C and H. These codes indicate that the part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity and that the Government lacks sufficient, accurate, or legible data to purchase this part from any source other than the current one. Market research, including a sources sought notice posted on February 2, 2024, received no responses, further validating the sole-source determination.

Implications for Bidders
