JA SPE7M826R0002 KO Signed-_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) for a limited source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support in Columbus.

Acquisition Overview and Requirements:

The solicitation (SPE7M826R0002) seeks to procure 90 Direct Current Motors (NSN 6105-00-525-8559) as spare parts for H1 helicopter systems. The contract will be firm-fixed price with fixed quantity and no options. The acquisition is restricted to Skurka Aerospace Inc. (CAGE 95270), Part Number B946CG587, as the sole known source capable of furnishing parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently used on the supported end item. This justification is based on statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, specifically AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time). The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, cannot be obtained economically, nor can adequate specifications be drafted for competitive solicitation.

Competition Efforts and Approval:

Market research efforts included a Sources Sought Notice posted October 30, 2025 (five business days with no responses), a market survey contacting Skurka Aerospace Inc., procurement history review confirming sole-source procurement, and general internet search yielding no alternative sources. The solicitation will be synopsized on or about February 11, 2026 for 15 days and posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum 30-day posting period. Competition Advocate approval is required as the estimated contract value exceeds $900,000. The justification includes a Technical Certification dated March 12, 2026, and references a previous justification from contract SPE7MX-22-D-5026. A price analysis will be conducted based on competitive proposals or historical pricing comparison to ensure fair and reasonable pricing.
