The T-55 Engine is a Critical Safety Item (CSI). The DMWR is considered technically complete but not sufficiently appropriate for a full and open competition due to some of the processes containing limited repair criteria due to intellectual data rights owned by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Any competing contractor would not be familiar with the total design parameters, specific repair parts requirements, and test processes for the T-55-GA-714A engine. As determined by the Aviation Engineering Directorate (AED), the only approved source for this item is the OEM, Honeywell International, Cage Code 02LU7, 1300 West Warner Road, Tempe, AZ 85284-2896. It has been determined that this requirement can be met by commercial items. Therefore, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 will be used. This requirement is currently unfunded.
