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

The acquisition is for FWD Floor Assembly aircraft components (NSN 1680-01-496-9376 and PN 71204-72001-041), with a quantity of 10 units. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price without options. The statutory authority for the sole source restriction is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or limited sources. DLA Aviation posted a Request for Information (RFI) on Contract Opportunities on 11/01/2024, which resulted in no responses. A sources sought notice was also posted on SAM.gov on the same date with no vendor response indicating interest. The synopsized acquisition is scheduled for approximately 11/07/2024. The anticipated procurement is governed by AMC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (engineering source approval required by the design control activity). The justification cites technical certification on file demonstrating that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and notes that data presently available reflects minimum government needs. The Contracting Officer (Christy L. Oakley) certified on 11/12/2024 that the justification is accurate and complete. The approval level threshold is not exceeding $750,000. Any responses received after the deadline from sources solicited will be considered for future buys.
