About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation awarded contract SPE4A122G0005 to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation on a sole-source basis for 567 units of connecting link rigs (NSN 3040-01-545-6083) for UH-60 series helicopters, on May 28, 2026.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits direct acquisition from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time. DLA Aviation restricted competition based on unavailability of technical data necessary for full and open competition; the original equipment manufacturer is unwilling to sell data rights to the Government, and reverse engineering is cost-prohibitive. A sources sought notice and RFI posted on October 28, 2025 via beta SAM resulted in no interest from other sources. The contract is firm fixed price without options. The justification was approved by the Competition Advocate for contracts over $900,000 but not exceeding $20 million, and certified cost or pricing data will be requested as required.
