This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, March 2026) for a sole source acquisition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Richmond - FMBA is acquiring shaft shouldered items (NSN 3040012944866 and 70351-38131-042) in a quantity of 14 on a firm fixed-price basis without contract options. The acquisition is an amendment increasing the total price of an existing contract, with total estimated dollar values redacted from the document.

The sole source is Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286), justified under AMSC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (part requires engineering source approval to maintain quality). A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted on Contract Opportunities on 04/16/25, resulting in no interest received. The justification identifies that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and notes the OEM's unwillingness to sell data rights to the Government, making reverse engineering cost-prohibitive. The anticipated cost is certified as fair and reasonable with certified cost or pricing data to be requested when required. The Contracting Officer (Nakeesha Mitchell-Palmore) approved the justification for acquisitions at or below $10 million.
