SPE4A526R0095;SPE4A525R0339: 5340016197756: Cover Access

The contract solicitation SPE4A526R0095 is a justification for other than full and open competition issued by DLA Aviation under the Department of Defense for the sole-source acquisition of a Cover, Access component identified by NSN 5340016197756 and part number 7-511171034-53. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 due to the unavailability of technical data necessary to support competitive sourcing, rendering full and open competition impracticable. Market research confirms this item has historically been procured through sole-source channels and is available only from the original manufacturer, with no suitable alternatives identified. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement with no provision for quantity increases or extension options, and performance is to occur at Richmond, Virginia, 23237, which is also the designated location for inspection and acceptance by the Government. No pricing details, line-item specifications, or estimated contract value are disclosed in the justification, though approval authority references suggest the total potential value may exceed $20 million and could reach up to $150 million when considering all authorized options. The contracting officer is Annette Pruett with Glenda Stitts as primary point of contact, but no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative is named. No evaluation factors, special contract requirements, packaging or marking standards, invoicing methods, accounting data, or payment instructions are provided, as this document serves purely as a regulatory justification for sole-source procurement rather than a fully formed contract or solicitation. While technical certification is required due to the acquisition’s estimated value surpassing $15 million, no offeror representations, certifications, socioeconomic status declarations, or unique entity identifiers are included, and no clause language from FAR 52-series or other solicitation-specific terms have been populated. The procurement is administratively documented to comply with FAR 6.303-2, 6.304, and DFARS requirements, with supporting documentation including a waiver of sources sought notice and market research summary referenced but not attached.
