SPE4A526R0265_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) documenting a sole-source acquisition justification for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Richmond – FMBA.

The acquisition concerns brake electric components (NSN 6110-0178884 and X0625-00003-101) with a quantity of 20 units. The solicitation number is SPE4A526R0265, and the contract type is firm fixed price with no options. The action represents a new acquisition under FAR Part 15. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with the justification based on AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC Q (the Government lacks adequate data and lacks rights to data). A sources sought notice/RFI was posted to Contract Opportunities on 07/02/25, which resulted in no competitive interest. The sole source is Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286). The acquisition is restricted to this single source because the material is proprietary to Sikorsky and anticipated to be awarded under a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), with a synopsis posted to FBO indicating that if other manufacturers express interest, a competitive solicitation will be prepared. The contracting officer (Nakeesha Mitchell-Palmore, Branch Chief) certified that the information is accurate and complete, with approval authority at the Contracting Officer level since the estimated value is $10 million or below.
