This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition acquisition, filed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Richmond - FMBA contracting activity.

The acquisition procures bolt shear supplies and services with NSN 5306010974948 and SS5111-06-008, with a quantity of 240.575 units. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price without options. The statutory authority for the sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or limited number of sources. The selected source is Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286). The acquisition is based on AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (requiring engineering source approval from the design control activity). A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted on beta.SAM on June 10, 2025, resulting in one interest from sources sought, with SAR information provided due to the procurement being sole sourced to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. A market survey was not conducted because the item is limited to the approved source, and additional market research would result in uncompetitive proposals. The contractor has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable through certified cost or pricing data as necessary. The OEM is unwilling to sell data rights to the Government, preventing development of technical data packages required for full and open competition. Technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit competition. Actions to overcome barriers to competition include posting a synopsis to FBO with letter solicitation, and if other manufacturers are interested, a solicitation will be prepared with Procurement Notes M06 and L04 for DLA Aviation consideration. The Contracting Officer approved the justification for acquisitions of $10 million or below.
