This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, NOV 2024) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for a sole source acquisition from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286).

The acquisition concerns 38 shaft-shouldered parts (NSN 3040012944866 and 70351-38131-042) with an estimated value falling between $750,000 and $15,000,000. The contract type is firm fixed price without options. A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted on SAM.gov on November 24, 2023, resulting in no interest from competing sources. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority, specifically relying on Alternate Means Code (AMC) 3 (acquire the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMC C (engineering source approval required by design control activity). The material is sole source to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and anticipated for award under a Basic Ordering Agreement. Additional facts supporting the sole source determination include technical certification data indicating that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed for full and open competition, and the original equipment manufacturer's unwillingness to sell data rights to the Government, making reverse engineering cost-prohibitive. The Competition Advocate and Contracting Officer have approved the justification, with the Contracting Officer signature dated 2025-06-13 and the Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin) approving on 8.13.2025. The acquisition underwent synopsis on FBO with a solicitation copy available to interested firms.
