This item is classified as a Critical Safety Item, necessitating negotiation and award through other than full and open competition to designated authorized distributors.

- Product Service Code: 1560 (Airframe Structural Components)
- Published Date: April 1, 2026

Eligibility & Basis for Exception
This justification is based on the determination that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can satisfy agency requirements. The approved source(s) possess unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge, including data rights, that are not economically available to the Government. The Navy does not possess sufficient data rights (drawings, specifications, test equipment/procedures) to support a full and open competitive solicitation. The acquisition will be solicited to a designated authorized distributor.
