Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Huntsville, AL has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the acquisition of SEARCHLIGHTs (NSN 6230-01-653-9052/727-1198/02). This justification outlines the rationale for restricting competition, identifying BHPE, LLC (CAGE 9SWS7) as the sole known source capable of furnishing the required supplies. The estimated value for this acquisition is over $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000.
Purpose of Justification
This JOFOC, under statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), explains that the acquisition is restricted because the required SEARCHLIGHTs are available from only one or a limited number of sources. The justification cites AMC 4 (Acquire, for the first time, directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (Part requires engineering source approval by design control activity), indicating that technical data is not available to permit full and open competition.
