    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Aviation), is seeking to acquire 1,260 aircraft seat and back cushion sets via a sole-source contract with Oregon Aero Inc. This procurement, valued at approximately $1,260,000, is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) for limited sources due to the government's lack of adequate data or rights to data, making competition impractical. The acquisition is critical for maintaining operational readiness and safety in military aircraft, and efforts will be made to promote future competition through pre-solicitation notices. Interested parties can contact Gladys Brown at gladys.brown@dla.mil or by phone at 804-279-1561 for further information.

    Avn Form S53 JandA 22R0587_Redacted.pdf
    The document, AVN Form S53, outlines the justification for acquiring aircraft seat and back cushion sets through other than full and open competition, specifically citing 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) for sole or limited sources. The acquisition is for 1,260 aircraft seat and back cushion sets over five years, estimated at $1,260,000, under a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC). Despite a sources sought notice posted on June 7, 2022, no contractors responded, leading to the sole-source justification. The identified source is Oregon Aero Inc. (CAGE 0WY76), with Coastal Seat Cushions (CAGE 6XYT9) listed as an interested party. The justification is based on AMSC Q, indicating the government lacks adequate data or rights to data, and it's not economical to acquire them. Efforts to promote competition for future acquisitions include posting a pre-solicitation synopsis and incorporating specific procurement notes (L04 and M06) to encourage new sources to submit data for evaluation.
