SPE4A525R0239_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for a sole source acquisition from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286). The procurement concerns harness electrical supplies and services (NSN 5999-017060030 and 70070-95211-911) with a quantity of 216 units. The contracting activity is DLA-Aviation, with solicitation number SPE4A523R0239, and the acquisition is structured as a firm fixed-price contract without options.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition. The sole source determination is based on two primary factors: (1) technical certification is on file indicating that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and (2) the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is unwilling to sell data rights to the Government, making the technical data package, specification, and engineering description unsuitable for competitive procurement without reverse engineering, which the Government has determined to be cost-prohibitive. A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted via beta SAM on July 2, 2025, resulting in one interest expression. The document indicates that if other manufacturers express interest, a solicitation with Procurement Notes M06 and L04 will be prepared to include source approval packages. The Contracting Officer has certified the justification is accurate and complete, with approval authority not exceeding $750,000.
