About this file

This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document issued by the Department of the Navy, DLA Aviation, for a contract action at their Philadelphia, PA facility.

The acquisition covers 11 units of air intake turbine spares (NSN 7RE 2840 013571130 VH, P/N 70302-30100-048) with an expected final delivery date of August 31, 2026. The contract will be awarded to Sikorsky (CAGE 78286) and/or Dow-United Technologies (CAGE 0J4X3) as the only qualified sources capable of manufacturing and certifying this Critical Safety Item. The justification cites 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, asserting that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The rationale emphasizes that this part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity, and the approved sources retain exclusive technical data, drawings, specifications, and manufacturing knowledge that are not economically available to the government. The Navy lacks sufficient data rights to support full and open competition. A class waiver effective March 15, 2019, exempts this requirement from posting a Request for Information or Sources Sought notice. The contract was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on March 8, 2025, and no additional sources expressed interest. The document was created by Contract Specialist Aisha Varnadore on March 21, 2025, and received final approval from the Contracting Officer on March 20, 2026.

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 1

Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

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) and DOW-UNITED TECHNOLOGIES (0J4X3) 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) and DOW-UNITED TECHNOLOGIES (0J4X3) because they are currently the only capable sources with the technical data required to manufacture, test and certify this item prior to unit delivery and are the only approved manufacturing sources 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 data 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) and/or DOW-UNITED TECHNOLOGIES (0J4X3).

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 03/08/2025 and as a result No additional sources have expressed an interest in this requirement.

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 Application Item, thus limiting qualified sources. Per JDRS/ASE, SIKORSKY (78286) and DOW-UNITED TECHNOLOGIES (0J4X3) is the only approved source at this time. The data necessary to solicit this item from sources other than SIKORSKY (78286) and DOW-UNITED TECHNOLOGIES (0J4X3) 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) and Dow-United Technologies (0J4X3) are the only approved sources 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.
