This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The document seeks to procure an Input Assembly, Power (NSN 1560-01-078-5726) for UH-60 Helicopter with a quantity of 19 each, using an Indefinite Quantity/Firm Fixed Price contract type. A sources sought notice was posted on 03/11/2025, but no vendors responded. The justification is based on the lack of technical certification data needed to permit full and open competition, with Sikorsky Elight Technology identified as the potential source. The acquisition is deemed a single source procurement, with the NSN deemed as a "SAR Package Required to Become an Approved Source" and will be synopsized to allow other manufacturers to submit source approval packages.

The document indicates the contract is not exceeding $750,000 and will be approved by the Contracting Officer. The actions to overcome barriers to competition include posting a synopsis for other manufacturers to submit source approval packages for DLA Aviation's consideration, specifically referencing Procurement Notes M06 and L04. The document was digitally signed by the Contracting Officer on 03/17/2025, with no further technical or legal approvals required due to the contract value being under $15 million.
