Quick Summary
DLA Aviation has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the procurement of Housing Assemblies supporting the H-60 Seahawk helicopter. This is a sole-source requirement restricted to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286) due to proprietary technical data rights.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the acquisition of 88 units of "HOUSING ASSY" (NSN: 1615-01-134-2507 / Part Number: 70351-08083-043). These components fall under Product Service Code 1615 (Helicopter Rotor Blades, Drive Mechanisms, and Components) and are essential for the maintenance and operational readiness of the Seahawk H-60 fleet.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Firm Fixed Price (FFP) anticipated to be awarded against a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA).
- Estimated Value: The acquisition is valued above $750,000 but does not exceed $15,000,000.
- Set-Aside: None (Sole Source).
- Published Date: February 10, 2026.
Justification & Eligibility
The procurement is conducted under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as the supplies are available from only one or a limited number of sources. Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns the proprietary data rights for the assembly. DLA determined that the cost of reverse engineering to create a technical data package for full and open competition would be cost-prohibitive and would not be recovered through competition.
Additional Notes
A Sources Sought notice was previously posted on April 16, 2025, and a synopsis was posted on April 22, 2025. While one interest was received, the lack of technical data rights remains the primary barrier to a competitive solicitation.
