    Redacted Limiting-Competition-under-SAT-ACC.pdf
    The government document outlines multiple sole-source awards to Boeing for defense contracts and details efforts to solicit alternative bids. Two RFIs (Requests for Information) were posted on GSA E-buy and SAM.GOV from July 11 to July 19, 2024, but received no responses. The report notes that multiple databases (LMP, FEDLOG, GSA) were reviewed in July 2024, revealing that the required parts were not provisioned or available. Additionally, a Google search conducted in July 2024 confirmed the unavailability of all necessary parts. The document's main purpose is to justify the sole-source procurement of Boeing by demonstrating a lack of viable alternatives and the effort to engage the market. It reflects the challenges in sourcing critical parts for defense contracts while adhering to procurement regulations.
