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 (CAGE 78286).

The acquisition covers a Housing Subassembly Positioner with NSN 1650-01-130-2924 and PN 65661-11250-045, with a quantity of 18 units. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price with no options. The statutory authority for limiting competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing only one known source capable of furnishing the required supplies. The justification is based on AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (required engineering source approval to maintain part quality). Supporting factors include that technical data is not available to permit full and open competition, and the data presently available reflects minimum Government needs. A sources sought notice and RFI were posted to Contract Opportunities on 11/24/2024 with no responses received. The contracting officer determined that anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable based on relevant pricing issues. A market survey was conducted by posting a sources sought notice to SAM.gov with no vendor responses indicating intent to provide the item. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 11/30/2024, and any firm requesting a solicitation copy will be provided one. The justification is approved at the Competition Advocate level (over $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000), signed by Competition Advocate Yolanda Calvin Maupin on 12/2/24 and Contracting Officer Christy L. Oakley on 11/30/2024.
