Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Huntsville, AL has posted a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the sole source acquisition of Indicator, Bearing - Distance. This document, published March 19, 2026, supports RFP SPRRA2-25-R-0007 and the subsequent executed delivery order SPRRA2-26-F-0044, outlining the rationale for restricting competition for this critical component.
Purpose & Scope
This JOFOC details the requirement for Indicator Bearing - Distance (NSN/PN 1430-01-686-3957/13633093-2), classified under Product Service Code 1430 (Guided Missile Remote Control Systems). The acquisition is structured as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) 5-Year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract. This posting serves as a transparency measure for a sole source decision that has already supported a specific RFP and delivery order, and is not a solicitation for new proposals.

- Period of Performance: 5 years
- Quantity: Minimum 106 units, Maximum 226 units
- Estimated Value: Approved for a contract value over $15,000,000 not exceeding $100,000,000.

Justification & Eligibility
The acquisition was justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that the item must be acquired directly from the manufacturer, Honeywell International Inc., due to engineering source approval requirements. Market research, including sources sought notices posted on April 15, 2024, and August 15, 2024, was conducted, which yielded three industry responses. However, the acquisition was restricted to the known source of supply with the necessary capabilities, aligning with AMSC 3B. The acquisition was expected to be synopsized on or about September 3, 2024.
