About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, also known as a Sole Source or Limited Competition Justification. It describes the acquisition of 145 units of the ALARM SET, PILOT WAR NSN 6340-01-540-6051 under Solicitation Number SPRPA124R0021.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as the statutory authority, indicating the supplies/services can only be obtained from a limited number of sources. The two known sources are Avionic Instruments LLC and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. The total estimated value of the acquisition is not provided. The justification states that a sources sought notice was posted, but no responses were received. It also discusses efforts to overcome barriers to future competition, such as including a procurement note to permit other vendors to submit a Statement of Availability. The justification was approved by the Contracting Officer and Competition Advocate, with the Head of Contracting Activity approval required for acquisitions over $15 million.
