This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for the acquisition of cylinders and pistons (NSN 1620-01-625-2795/70250-13101-046) in quantities of 120 minimum to 600 maximum units at an undisclosed estimated value. The acquisition utilizes a 5-year indefinite delivery/requirements (IDR) contract structure without options and is governed under FAR Part 15.

The justification supports a sole source acquisition based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), restricted to four approved sources: Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286), BEMSCO INC (CAGE 29560), Rotair Industries, Inc. (CAGE 54878), and S&L Aerospace Metals, LLC (CAGE 05722). The document cites Authority Marking Code (AMC) 1 as applicable—suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time—and AMC C, requiring engineering source approval for design control. A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted to Contract Opportunities on 18 May 2026, resulting in no responses. Market research was conducted based on knowledge within the requirements community. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable. No outstanding qualification requests exist on this spare part, which is controlled by DLA Aviation and classified as Federal Supply Schedule (SSEL) distribution/dissemination control. The solicitation is scheduled for synopsis on 22 May 2026. Approval authority rests with the Contracting Officer Christopher Butler, as the estimated value does not exceed $10 million.
