Quick Summary
This notice is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Oklahoma City, OK. It justifies the sole-source acquisition of F-16 Servocylinders (NSN/PN: 1650-01-045-1019/2022032-1-1) for DLA Weapons Support at Tinker AFB, OK.
Purpose & Scope
The DLA is procuring 21 units of F-16 Servocylinders. This justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), indicating that the item is available from only one or a limited number of sources. The requirement stems from the item being acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing (16VM003005-1, CAGE 81755), where necessary technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available from other sources. Reverse engineering has been determined to be not economical.
Contract Details
The acquisition is for a Firm-Fixed-Price, Fixed Quantity contract. The estimated value of this acquisition, including any options, is not explicitly stated in the justification document. The place of performance is Elma, NY 14059.
Market Research & Justification
Market research was conducted, including a Sources Sought notice posted on SAM.gov on October 2, 2024, which yielded no responses. This research indicated that the requirement cannot be satisfied with a commercial or modified commercial item. The justification confirms the inability to obtain the item from other sources due to proprietary data and the impracticality of reverse engineering.
Eligibility & Set-Aside
This is a justification for other than full and open competition and is not a set-aside.
Additional Notes
A price analysis will be completed by the contracting officer. Certified cost or pricing data may be required if the proposed dollar amount exceeds the Truth in Negotiations Act (TINA) threshold. The 423 SCMS will continue to monitor the marketplace for potential and approved sources for future acquisitions.
