Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Huntsville, AL has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the sole-source acquisition of "Cylinder Assembly, A" (NSN/PN: 1650012637856/7-318000011-5). This requirement is for a five-year IDIQ contract, with an estimated value between $750,000 and $15,000,000. The justification identifies Woodward HRT, Inc. as the sole source due to the item's military-unique nature and a "no bid" response from the only other approved source, The Boeing Company.
Purpose & Scope
This J&A supports the procurement of a critical spare part, the "Cylinder Assembly, A," which is a military-unique requirement not available in the commercial marketplace. The acquisition is necessary to meet the government's minimum needs, as the technical data available does not permit full and open competition. FAR Part 12 will not be used as the Government's needs cannot be met by an item available in the commercial marketplace.

Acquisition Process & Eligibility
Market research efforts included a Sources Sought notice posted on May 1, 2024, which yielded no responses. A subsequent Request for Information (RFI) sent to The Boeing Company on May 7, 2024, resulted in a "no bid" response on May 9, 2024. Consequently, this acquisition is restricted to the only known and capable source, Woodward HRT, Inc. The acquisition is expected to be synopsized around May 27, 2024. Firms interested in competing for future solicitations for this item are strongly encouraged to seek source approval.
