This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form (AVN Form S53) documenting a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The acquisition is for Latch Set, Mortise items (NSN 5340-01-516-7471) with a quantity of 101 each. The material is sole sourced to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286) under a firm fixed price contract type without options. The contracting activity is DLA Aviation – FMB – Sikorsky Aircraft, with solicitation number SPE4A5-24-R-0254.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for the sole source acquisition, specifically citing Alternate Means of Competition (AMC) 3—acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer—and AMSC D—the data needed to acquire this part is not economically available. A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted to Contract Opportunities on August 9, 2024, resulting in no responses. The acquisition was synopsized on September 4, 2024. The justification notes that if any response is received from sources sought after the deadline, it will be considered for future buys. The Contracting Officer, Christy L. Oakley, approved the justification on September 5, 2024. The approval level is not exceeding $750,000, requiring only the Contracting Officer's certification of accuracy and completeness.
