This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form for a sole source acquisition filed by the Defense Logistics Agency for Weapons Support Richmond – FMBA. The acquisition seeks 68 Axle Assemblies (NSN 1615-0150262555 and 9625-0-32107-041) on a firm fixed-price basis from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286). The total estimated contract value is not disclosed in the document.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority for limited competition, specifically AMC 2 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the first time) and AMSC C (part requires engineering source approval to maintain quality). A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) was posted to Contract Opportunities on July 13, 2026, which resulted in no interest from other sources. The document indicates that the item is a limited source acquisition to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation based on technical requirements, with the OEM's unwillingness to sell data rights to the Government preventing full and open competition through reverse engineering. No market survey as defined by FAR 10 was conducted, as additional research would result in non-competitive proposals. The planned solicitation date is July 20, 2026. The Contracting Officer, serving as approval authority for acquisitions of $10 million or below, has certified the information as accurate and complete.
