This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document filed under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Columbus) for solicitation SPE7L126R0040.

The DLA is acquiring 371 each Support Bell Cranks (NSN 3040-01-325-7874) for H60 Helicopters under a Firm-Fixed Price contract. The acquisition is restricted to a single source, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286), based on the justification that spare parts must be form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently used on the supported end item and that only Sikorsky is known to have the capability and current design control activity approval to furnish the required supplies. The restriction is authorized under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and implemented by FAR 6.302-1 under AMSC 3, which permits acquisition directly from the manufacturer for subsequent purchases. The estimated base value, total value with options, and maximum contract value are redacted in the document. A Sources Sought Notice was posted to SAM.gov on December 22, 2025, for five business days with no results. No market survey was conducted due to two recent awards in September and November 2025 for the same NSN, with market research data derived from those procurements. No alternate sources were identified through procurement history, internet search, or other sources. The solicitation will be synopsized on or about January 7, 2026, for 15 days and posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days. The contracting officer certified the justification as accurate and complete, and it was approved by the Competition Advocate on January 12, 2026.
