Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the procurement of SPARK GAS TANK IGNITER (NSN 2925-013891683). This J&A restricts the acquisition to Champion Aerospace LLC as the sole source, citing a lack of responses to market research and unavailability of technical data for broader competition. The contract will be a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a 5-year base period. This notice was published on January 29, 2026.
Purpose of Justification
This document justifies a sole source acquisition for the SPARK GAS TANK IGNITER, required for AIRCRAFT, GALAXY C-5. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition from only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

Justification & Market Research
Market research, including a sources sought notice posted on October 29, 2025, yielded no responses from other contractors. The justification is based on the unavailability of technical data necessary to permit full and open competition, with existing data reflecting the minimum needs of the Government. The anticipated cost is deemed fair and reasonable based on historical pricing.
Efforts to Promote Competition
Despite the sole-source justification, efforts to overcome barriers to competition include posting a synopsis and incorporating specific procurement notes (L04 and M06) into the solicitation to encourage offers from potential new sources.
