SEAL, AIR, AIRCRAFT, G

This contract is a sole-source justification and approval for the acquisition of 19 units of the F100-229 Air Seal, an aircraft component with NSN 2840015842401NZ and part number 4089043, procured under solicitation SPRTA125R0088. The item is classified as a non-developmental item with an AMSC Code "V," indicating it is a high-reliability component for which technical data is unavailable and reverse engineering is infeasible, thereby restricting procurement to the original equipment manufacturer, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, as formally approved through the Source Approval Worksheet. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, with supporting regulatory references including FAR 6.302-2(c), 6.303-2(b)(12), and 6.304(a)(2) and (a)(3), affirming that no other qualified sources exist and that the requirement exceeds $15 million, necessitating formal certification. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity agreement with no options included, and while pricing details are masked, the transaction relies on price analysis per FAR 15.403-4 to determine fairness and reasonableness without requiring certified cost or pricing data unless the threshold is exceeded. The place of performance and contracting office are both located at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, under the Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support office, with James Callins serving as the Lead Contracting Officer responsible for approval and certification. No competitive evaluation factors, proposal submission formats, or award criteria apply due to the non-competitive nature of the acquisition. There are no specified packaging, preservation, marking, or bar-coding requirements referenced, despite the item’s critical nature, and no MIL-STD standards are cited for logistics compliance. Inspection and acceptance procedures are not detailed beyond the implied involvement of the Government at Tinker AFB, and no COR, COTR, or payment office information is provided. Representations from the offeror—such as UEI, CAGE code, socioeconomic status, or size certification—are absent from the documentation, with all certifications being government-generated justifications for sole-source procurement. The acquisition process followed a sources-sought notice posted on SAM.gov, which yielded no responses, solidifying the
