Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia is issuing a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition for the acquisition of PGMC LRM, AIRCRAFT, M components. This action justifies the negotiation and award of a contract without full competition, citing specific statutory authority and the unique nature of the required supplies and services. The estimated final delivery date is March 21, 2028.
Scope of Work
This acquisition covers spares, repair/overhaul, modification, management, piece parts, and data reports for the PGMC LRM, AIRCRAFT, M (NSN: 7RH 1680 015817851 E7, P/N: 110K080G04). A quantity of 8 units is required.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition
- Statutory Authority: 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) (only one or a limited number of responsible sources)
- Set-Aside: Not Applicable (limited competition)
- Published: January 29, 2026
- Expected Final Delivery: March 21, 2028
Rationale for Limited Competition
The justification is based on FAR 8.302, asserting that the unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge of qualified source(s) are essential. Specific sources (Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin) retain data rights, possess unique knowledge, or have specialized capabilities. Technical data is insufficient for developing new sources, and alternate qualified sources are not available.
Efforts Made To Solicit Offers
Market research was conducted per FAR Part 10, including checking sources (TNP, J&B) and submitting an RFI to the Source Development Department on December 20, 2023. The proposed contract action was synopsized on the Government-wide point of entry on May 8, 2025, with no comments received for this part number. A Class Waiver from posting an RFI/Sources Sought applied on March 15, 2019.
Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition
NAVSUP WSS will continue to encourage vendors with the expertise to manufacture/repair the item to submit complete technical data packages for source approval. Future requirements will be advertised on the government-wide point of entry. However, NAVSUP WSS currently has no plans to compete future contracts for this specific item, but will assess feasibility if another potential manufacturing source emerges.
