About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation issued a sole source justification (J&A Form S53) for the acquisition of four swashplate controls (NSN 3040017007113, part number SB1570-101) used in CH-53 helicopter systems. The justification restricts the contract to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286) as the sole capable source, citing the original equipment manufacturer's unwillingness to provide data rights to the Government and the cost-prohibitive nature of reverse engineering alternatives. The justification was authorized under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority, allowing direct acquisition from the manufacturer for repeat purchases of items requiring engineering source approval. Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation was awarded contract SPE4A122G0005 on September 3, 2025, as a firm fixed-price contract with an estimated acquisition value between $750,000 and $15,000,000. Although a sources sought notice was posted on April 16, 2025, resulting in minimal market interest, documented cost or pricing data will be obtained to establish fair and reasonable pricing for the transaction.
