Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the sole source acquisition of Valve, Flow Control (NSN: 4810-014547263, P/N 3181942-2). This acquisition is restricted to HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. due to the government not owning the necessary data rights. The estimated value of this acquisition is over $15,000,000 but not exceeding $100,000,000.
Scope of Acquisition
This J&A covers the acquisition of 73 Each (EA) units of the specified Valve, Flow Control. The purpose is to ensure the continued supply of this critical component.
Contract Details
- Type of Contract: 1-year firm fixed price contract.
- Options: May include a percentage option for increased quantity and an option to extend the term for a specified number of months.
- Estimated Value: Over $15,000,000 but not exceeding $100,000,000 (inclusive of options).
Justification for Sole Source
- Statutory Authority: 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) – Available from only one or a limited number of sources.
- Reason: The government does not own the rights to use data needed to purchase this part from additional sources (AMSC P). Market research, including a sources sought notice posted on SAM.gov on 03/04/2025, confirmed limited sources, with only one vendor responding.
- Future Competition Efforts: DLA Aviation plans to post a synopsis on SAM.gov (planned for 04/02/25) and encourages other manufacturers to submit Source Approval Request (SAR) packages to overcome barriers to competition for future acquisitions.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
