This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53, November 2024) submitted by DLA Aviation for a sole source acquisition from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation.

The acquisition involves the procurement of four Door, Access, Aircraft items (NSN 1560-01-718-0228 and PN 06207-01607-046) for an estimated value that is redacted. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price with no options. The solicitation number is SPEN3A5-25-R-0180, issued under FAR Part 15. DLA Aviation conducted a sources sought notice/RFI on SAM.gov on 5/07/2025, which resulted in no responses from other potential vendors. The justification is based on Authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with the specific basis being AMSC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC Q (the Government lacks adequate data and it is not economical to purchase from other sources). The material is sole sourced to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286) and is anticipated to be awarded under a basic ordering agreement. A synopsis was posted via SAM.gov, and if other manufacturers express interest after the deadline, a solicitation will be prepared to include Procurement Notes M061.04. The justification was approved by the Competition Advocate on 5/15/2025 and requires Head of Contracting Activity approval as the estimated acquisition value falls between $15 million and $100 million.
