Redacted JA W58RGZ-24-B-0013.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval document for other than full and open competition under FAR Part 6 for solicitation W58RGZ-24-B-0013.

The Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) Logistics Center (ALC) is seeking approval to award a limited-source procurement for the overhaul of the Air Data Computer for the UH-60 aircraft. The requirement is for a single-award, firm-fixed-price, five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Two contractors are eligible to compete: Penny & Giles Aerospace Limited (15 Enterprise Way, Christchurch, Dorset, BH23 6HH, United Kingdom) and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (6900 Main ST, Stratford, CT 06614). The minimum quantity is 120 units with a maximum of 720 units, including 120 for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and 600 for United States (US) quantities across the five-year period. The contract will utilize Army Working Capital Funds, with FMS quantities using FMS funding but without source direction.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. Section 3204(a)(1) as implemented in FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), asserting that no other sources can satisfy the requirement due to the unavailability of technical data and parts owned exclusively by Penny & Giles and Sikorsky. A market research report confirmed these are the only two capable sources. A Sources Sought announcement published on SAM.gov from November 20 to December 4, 2023 received no responses. The government lacks a Depot Maintenance Work Requirement (DMWR) and access to the proprietary technical data package required for competition. The procurement history shows five prior sole-source acquisitions to Penny & Giles Aerospace dating from 2009 to 2023, with no prior use of full and open competition. The document includes requirements for a Subcontracting Plan with small business provisions and Competition in Subcontracting clauses.
