This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, NOV 2024) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for a sole-source acquisition from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286).

The acquisition concerns 30 units of a Panel Fault-Function component (NSN 1880013539291) with an estimated value that is redacted. The procurement is being conducted under FAR Part 15 on a firm fixed-price basis with no options. A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted on Contract Opportunities on 04/16/25, which resulted in one expression of interest from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. The justification indicates that the item is restricted to Sikorsky as the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies, citing technical certification requirements and the manufacturer's unwillingness to sell data rights to the Government. The contracting activity is DLA-Aviation-FMBA under solicitation number SPF4A523R0148. The justification identifies multiple approval authorities based on acquisition value, with the contracting officer approving acquisitions not exceeding $750,000. Supporting documentation notes that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and that reverse engineering is cost-prohibitive. The Government has determined that obtaining certified cost or pricing data will be required when necessary to establish a fair and reasonable price.
