About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the Department of the Navy, Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP WSS) in Philadelphia. The document justifies a sole-source procurement from Sikorsky (78286) for a specific spare part (NSN 1615012306218, P/N 70351-08001-046) deemed a Critical Safety Item (CSI). The acquisition is for an input mod with an expected final delivery date of 10/01/2025.

The J&A is based on 10 USC 3204(A)(1), citing that only Sikorsky can satisfy agency requirements due to unique technical data rights, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge. Market research confirmed Sikorsky is the only approved source, and the Navy lacks sufficient technical information to competitively solicit the item from alternative manufacturers. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, with no immediate plans to compete future contracts unless 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 (78286) Per JDRS, this item has been deemed a Critical Safety Item (CSI), thus limiting qualified sources. The acquisition of the item listed above will be solicited to SIKORSKY (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 (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 11/21/2024 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 (78286) is the only approved source at this time. The data necessary to solicit this item from sources other than SIKORSKY (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.

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.
