This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, NOV 2023) for a sole source acquisition by DLA Aviation from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation.

The acquisition covers 34 units of Crew Hover C Panel components (NSN: 1680-01-528-9947; PN: 71450-81012-041) through a Firm Fixed Price contract without options. DLA Aviation is seeking to acquire this part on a sole source basis from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286) under a basic ordering agreement (BOA). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for restricting competition, specifically invoking AMSC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (part required engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality). A sources sought notice and RFI were posted to Contract Opportunities on 10/21/2024, which resulted in no responses. A market survey was conducted via SAM.gov with no vendor response indicating interest in providing this item. The justification indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and that technical data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the Government. Should any response be received from sources sought after the deadline, it will be considered for future buys. The estimated contract value and maximum dollar value are redacted. The Contracting Officer (Christy L. Oakley) certified the justification on 11/15/2024, and approval was granted at the level not exceeding $750,000.
