About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (DLA Aviation) issued a sole source justification for the procurement of mechanical actuators (NSN 1680-01-616-9790) for AH-64E helicopters, awarding contract SPE4A726D0168 on February 6, 2026. The justification, filed under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), limits competition to National Machine Co. (CAGE 61817) because the government does not own the rights to data necessary to source the part from alternative suppliers, and the NSN is classified as a 3P part requiring source approval. DLA Aviation is procuring a total of 100 actuator units—20 units designated for government maintenance and 80 units for equipment assembly and other purposes—though the specific award value was not disclosed in the filing. Prior to awarding this sole source contract, DLA posted a sources sought notice and Request for Information on November 18, 2025, which generated no vendor responses. The Competition Advocate approved the justification on December 1, 2025, and the Contracting Officer Christopher Rose certified the action on November 28, 2025, with future procurement notes indicating opportunities for interested manufacturers to submit source approval packages for potential future consideration.
