The acquisition concerns aircraft seats (NSN 1680-01-108-0558) with an estimated quantity of 418 units. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price (FFP) without options. The statutory authority for limited competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting acquisition from only one or a limited number of sources. Two sole source suppliers are identified: CR Daniels Inc. (CAGE 15814) and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286). The justification cites two primary limitations on competition: AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (part required engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality). A Sources Sought notice/RFI was posted on Contract Opportunities on 12/05/2025, resulting in no responses. A market survey conducted on 12/05/2025 via www.sam.gov yielded no interest from potential sources. The justification notes that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, with data presently available reflecting minimum government needs.
