SPRRA126R0002 AMD01_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (AVN Form S53), used to support a non-competitive acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency.

The acquisition involves the procurement of 371 coupling assemblies/servos (NSN 1615-01-141-7532/70400-06100-042) from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286) on a single purchase basis. The estimated value is redacted but falls under $10 million. The contracting activity is the Defense Logistics Agency, with solicitation number SPRA1-26-R-0002, and the document was prepared under FAR Part 15. The statutory authority for this sole-source acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing the availability from only one or limited sources. The justification identifies two primary limitations-on-competition codes: AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality). A sources sought notice and Request for Information were posted on Contract Opportunities on 18 September 2025, resulting in no responses received. The market research was conducted based on knowledge within the requirements community. A market survey identified firms with interest in the acquisition. The anticipated cost to the Government is determined to be fair and reasonable based on negotiation in accordance with FAR Part 15. The Contracting Officer certified the justification on 28 May 2026, and approval authority rests with the Contracting Officer for acquisitions at or below $10 million.
