This is a Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR Part 6) document for a U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) maintenance and overhaul contract.

The procurement seeks a limited competitive award to one of the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC) Systems Readiness Directorate (SRD) approved sources for overhaul of the Head, Rotary Wing for the AH-64 Apache helicopter. The contract will be a firm-fixed price (FFP), five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Maintenance and Overhaul (M&O) contract with an estimated total dollar value that is redacted. The minimum quantity is 60 units with a maximum of 360 units across five years, including a maximum of 60 Foreign Military Sales (FMS) units that are not source-directed. The projected award date is January 2024, and Army Working Capital Funds (AWCF) will be utilized. The justification cites Title 10 United States Code § 3204(a)(5) and Public Law No. 108-136, Section 802 as statutory authority, as the Head, Rotary Wing is classified as an aviation Critical Safety Item (CSI) that can only be modified, repaired, or overhauled by sources approved by SRD, the Army's aviation design controller activity. The Government conducted a Sources Sought announcement on May 23, 2022, which received no interested parties. Market research confirmed that commercial items with customary modifications cannot satisfy requirements and that approved sources are the only viable options. Historical procurement data shows previous contracts for spares and maintenance dating back to 2013. The document includes certifications from technical and requirements representatives confirming data accuracy, and approval is granted for limited competition among qualified SRD-approved sources.
