Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of 910 units of COMPASS, MAGNETIC MOUNTED (NSN 6605-005518187). This acquisition is justified as a sole source or limited competition effort due to the availability from only one or a limited number of sources. The estimated value is approved not to exceed $900,000.

Scope of Work

The requirement is for 910 units of COMPASS, MAGNETIC MOUNTED, NSN 6605-005518187.

Contract Details

  • Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC)
  • Duration: 5-year base period with no options
  • Estimated Value: Not to exceed $900,000
  • Set-Aside: Not applicable (Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition)
  • Product Service Code: 6605 (Navigational Instruments)

Justification for Limited Competition

The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), indicating that the acquisition is available from only one or a limited number of sources. Specific reasons include:

  • AMC 5: Acquire directly from the sole source contractor (who is not the manufacturer).
  • AMSC Q: The Government lacks adequate data or rights to data, and it is not economical to acquire them.
  • AMC 1: Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time. Technical certification confirms that data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition.

A sources sought notice posted on SAM.gov on January 6, 2023, yielded no responses. Subsequent market research via email indicated that G & H AEROSPACE INC (CAGE 01RR2) is an approved source and intends to submit a proposal for this Limited Technical Competition (LTC).
