This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document for a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 15.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is acquiring 20 door assemblies (Pylon) with NSN 1560-0111396864 and 65217-09007-051 from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286) on a firm fixed-price basis without options. The item is restricted to Sikorsky as the sole source capable of furnishing the required supplies. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC Q (Government lacks adequate data). The justification notes that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and the OEM is unwilling to sell data rights to the Government, making reverse engineering cost-prohibitive. A sources sought notice and RFI were posted on beta.SAM on 08/19/25, resulting in one interest received. The acquisition was synopsized on 08/25/25, and any requesting firm will be provided a solicitation copy. Certified cost or pricing data will be requested when required to establish fair and reasonable pricing. The acquisition value is redacted in the document. Approval authority is the Competition Advocate for amounts over $750,000 but not exceeding $15 million. The justification is signed by Nakesha Mitchell-Palmore (Branch Chief, Contracting Officer), Yolanda Calvin Maupin (Competition Advocate), and pending Head of Contracting Activity approval.
