About this file
This is a Memorandum to the File documenting a justification for use of other than full and open competition under the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT).
Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is procuring dual bungee visors for the HGU-68/P flight helmet used by aircrew on all T-6 aircraft. The specific items required are 1000EA Visor Strap Assembly (Inner), P/N B7182, and 1000EA Visor Strap Assembly (Outer), P/N B7078, with a delivery date of September 30, 2026. The procurement justifies single-source acquisition based on exclusive licensing agreements, as the requirement is mandated by an official NAVAIR Interim Flight Clearance (IFC) that explicitly identifies the visors by proprietary part numbers (96D9738-2 and 96D9739-2) unique to the manufacturer. The IFC provides airworthiness approval and explicitly directs that the dual bungee visors be purchased directly from the specified manufacturer. Market research conducted via GSA e-Buy revealed zero vendors capable of providing the required straps as alternatives. The justification certifies that use of any other product would violate the flight clearance and compromise pilot safety, making the identified manufacturer the only responsible source capable of providing the certified equipment. Technical and contracting officer certifications are required with FLCJ Code 200 GS-14 or higher approval authority.
