Justification & Eligibility
This acquisition is justified under the authority of 10 USC 3204(A)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, citing that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The government does not own the necessary data or rights to contract repair from additional sources, and reverse engineering the part is deemed uneconomical. GE Aviation Systems LLC (CAGE: 93366) is identified as the current manufacturer and the only known historical source of supply. Market research did not reveal any known distributors.
