Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the sole source procurement of 11 structural fittings (NSN/PN: 1560017187935 / 96209-05001-044) for H-60 Seahawk helicopters. This acquisition, valued at not exceeding $750,000, is intended to be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract awarded to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286).
Purpose & Justification
This document justifies the acquisition of specific structural fittings under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits procurement from only one or a limited number of sources. The sole source justification stems from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, being unwilling to sell data rights. This makes it impossible to develop a technical data package suitable for full and open competition without cost-prohibitive reverse engineering.
Scope of Work
Procurement of 11 units of structural fittings, specifically NSN/PN: 1560017187935 / 96209-05001-044, which are critical airframe structural components for the H-60 Seahawk helicopter.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price (FFP)
- Quantity: 11 units
- Estimated Value: Not exceeding $750,000
- Anticipated Award: Against a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA)
- Place of Performance: Richmond, VA, United States
Efforts to Ensure Competition & Response
To ensure competition where possible, a Sources Sought notice was posted on beta.SAM.gov on April 21, 2025, which resulted in one expression of interest. The acquisition was synopsized on or about April 28, 2025. While this is a sole source procurement, letter solicitations will apply, and firms interested in future opportunities for this item can submit source approval packages for DLA Aviation's consideration.
