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 procurement from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation.

The acquisition covers Control Electric LI parts (NSN 6220012261776 and 70550-01148-101) in a quantity of 34 units for the DLA-Aviation contracting activity. The contract type is firm fixed price with no options. The procurement is being conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisitions from a limited number of sources when only one source has the capability to furnish the required supplies. The justification indicates that Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286) is the sole known source capable of providing these items. A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted on Contract Opportunities on 06/03/25, resulting in one interest submission from which SAC information was provided due to the sole source nature of the procurement. The justification cites that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and the OEM is not willing to sell data rights to the Government, rendering reverse engineering cost-prohibitive. A synopsis is planned for 06/10/25. The contracting officer certified the justification as accurate and complete, with approval authority designated at the Contracting Officer level for the estimated contract value not exceeding $750,000.
