About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WSS in Philadelphia. The document covers the acquisition of a Spindle Assembly (NSN 1615-012382442, P/N 70102-28100-045) from Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., which has been deemed the only qualified source for this Critical Safety Item (CSI). The procurement is justified under 10 USC 3204(A)(1), indicating that only one or a limited number of responsible sources will satisfy agency requirements.

The document details that Sikorsky is the sole approved manufacturing source with the technical data required to manufacture, test, and certify the item. Market research confirmed no alternative sources exist, and the Navy lacks sufficient technical data rights to support a competitive solicitation. The expected final delivery date is 06/12/2025, and the acquisition was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on 04/17/2024. NAVSUP WSS has no current plans to compete future contracts for this item but will reassess if another potential manufacturing source emerges.

Line of Accounting

This J&A is based upon the authority of 10 USC 3204(A) (1), only one or a limited number of responsible sources will satisfy agency requirements, as implemented by FAR 6.302-1

A/RMC 3

Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer.

A/RMSC C

This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge by the qualified source(s) require acquisition/repair of the part from the approved source(s). The approved source(s) retain data rights, manufacturing/repair knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the part. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. If one source is approved, A/RMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are approved or if data is adequate for an alternate source to qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, A/RMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

This acquisition will be solicited to

Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. (78286) Per JDRS, this item has been deemed a Critical Safety Item (CSI), thus limiting qualified sources. This acquisition will be solicited to Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. (78286) because they are currently the only capable source with the technical data required to manufacture, test and certify this item prior to unit delivery and is the sole approved manufacturing source identified in the JDRS CIM record. All alternate sources must qualify IAW the DCA's procedures, as approved by NAVAIR prior to contract award. Since the Navy does not possess sufficient rights to information such as drawings, specifications, and/or test equipment/procedures, a full and open competitive solicitation cannot be supported. NAVSUP-WSS must procure the item from Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.

(78286).

15 MAR 2019 Class Waiver of the Requirement to Post a Request for Information or Sources Sought Notice applies to this requirement

The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on 04/17/2024 and as a result

Market research was conducted in accordance with far part 10. The results of the market research conducted (or the reason(s) market research was not conducted) are as follows

The latest configuration has been checked and all records (ITIMP, JDRS/ASE, etc.) have been properly aligned, identified, and documented. This item has been deemed a Critical Safety Item, thus limiting qualified sources. Per JDRS, Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. (78286) is the only approved source at this time. The data necessary to solicit this item from sources other than Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. (78286) is not physically available and is uneconomical to obtain. The available technical data is insufficient for the development of new sources. Source Development Department files indicate no Source Approval Request (SAR) has been received from any party interested in becoming an approved source. Sikorsky (78286) is the only approved source at this time.

The contracting officer determines that the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.

9. Any Other Facts Supporting Other Than Full & Open Competition

History

For reasons set forth in Paragraph (5 & 6), NAVSUP WSS has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the subject item covered by this document. If another potential manufacturing source emerges, NAVSUP WSS will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. Also, future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry.
