Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of three (3) Aircraft Doors (NSN/PN: 1560016072419) for the H-60 Seahawk Helicopter. This acquisition is restricted to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation as the sole source provider.
Purpose & Scope
This document justifies the sole source procurement of "DOOR, AIRCRAFT" (NSN/PN: 1560016072419) for the H-60 Seahawk Helicopter. The DLA requires three units of this specific aircraft door. The estimated value of this firm fixed-price acquisition is over $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm Fixed-Price (FFP)
- Anticipated Award Vehicle: Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA)
- Quantity: 3 units
- Estimated Value: Between $750,000 and $15,000,000
- Options: May include options for increased quantity or extended term.
Justification & Eligibility
This acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." The primary reason is that Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), is unwilling to sell data rights. This makes it impossible to develop a technical data package for full and open competition without cost-prohibitive reverse engineering. A Sources Sought request was posted on beta.SAM on April 16, 2025, which yielded only one expression of interest.
