Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has posted a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of Matrix Assembly (NSN 2935-01-203-1861, PN 736445B) for TF33 Aircraft. This justification restricts the acquisition to Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. due to limited known sources, but indicates that a future solicitation will allow other sources to submit source approval packages.

Purpose & Scope

This document justifies the acquisition of 10 EA of Matrix Assembly on a sole-source or limited competition basis. The item is critical for TF33 Aircraft. The DLA has determined that technical data is not available to permit full and open competition, and the currently available data reflects the minimum needs of the Government.

Contract Details

Type: Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract, anticipated to be awarded against a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA).
Item: Matrix Assembly (NSN 2935-01-203-1861, PN 736445B)
Quantity: 10 EA
Estimated Value: To be determined, approved at the "$750,000 not exceeding $15,000,000" level.
Options: The contract may include options for increased quantity or an extended term.
Set-Aside: None specified.

Justification & Source Restriction

The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that the supplies are available from only one or a limited number of sources. A sources sought notice posted on SAM.gov on July 9, 2025, yielded no responses. Currently, Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. (CAGE 45934) is identified as the only known source with the capability to furnish the required supplies.

Action for Potential Sources

A synopsis has been posted via SAM.gov, and a solicitation will be prepared to include Procurement Notes M06/L04. These notes will allow other interested sources to submit source approval packages for consideration. This provides an opportunity for new vendors to demonstrate their capability to supply the Matrix Assembly.
