About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the acquisition of 20 door assemblies (Pylon) with National Stock Number 1560-0111396864, components for CH-53 helicopters, awarded to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation on April 15, 2026, under contract SPE4A122G0005. The justification for sole source competition derives from the unavailability of adequate technical data to permit full and open competition, as Sikorsky is the original equipment manufacturer and has declined to provide data rights to the government, rendering reverse engineering cost-prohibitive. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), specifically authorizing direct acquisition from the manufacturer when acquiring for the second or subsequent time and when government technical data is inadequate. Prior to this award, DLA conducted a sources sought notice and Request for Information on August 19, 2025, which generated only one expression of interest, and the acquisition was synopsized on August 25, 2025. While the specific contract value is redacted in the justification document, the approval authority indicates the acquisition falls within the range requiring Competition Advocate approval for amounts exceeding $750,000 but not exceeding $15 million. The justification has been signed by the Contracting Officer and Competition Advocate and remains pending final Head of Contracting Activity approval.
