Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has posted a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the acquisition of BELLOWS, TRANSDUCER (NSN 2915-01-463-7650) for F16 Aircraft. This J&A supports a sole source or limited competition acquisition due to the unavailability of technical data and a lack of responses to a previous sources sought notice.

Purpose & Scope

This document justifies the acquisition of BELLOWS, TRANSDUCER, NSN/PN 2915-01-463-7650, which is critical for F16 aircraft. The acquisition is for an Indefinite Quantity / Firm Fixed Price contract, with estimated quantities of 20 Each (GM) and 80 Each (EAQ). The place of performance is Jacksonville, FL.

Contract Details

Contract Type: Indefinite Quantity / Firm Fixed Price.
Item: BELLOWS, TRANSDUCER (NSN/PN 2915-01-463-7650).
Estimated Quantity: 20 Each (GM) and 80 Each (EAQ).
Potential Options: The acquisition may include an option for increased quantity or an option to extend the term.
Set-Aside: Not applicable, as this is a justification for other than full and open competition.

Competition & Justification

The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting other than full and open competition. A sources sought notice was posted on May 5, 2025, but no vendors responded. The DLA has determined that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, restricting the acquisition to the only known source(s) of supply. The NSN is designated "1C," meaning a Source Approval Request (SAR) package is required for any new vendor to become an approved source.

Future Actions & Eligibility

To overcome barriers to competition, DLA Aviation is actively seeking new manufacturers. A synopsis will be posted to allow other manufacturers to submit SAR packages. The estimated cost to the Government has been determined to be fair and reasonable.
