Eligibility & Justification
This acquisition was conducted under other than full and open competition, specifically limiting solicitations to SIKORSKY and DOW-UNITED TECHNOLOGIES. These two entities are identified as the only capable sources possessing the necessary technical data and approvals for this Critical Safety Item. The government does not possess sufficient data rights (drawings, specifications, test equipment/procedures) to support a full and open competitive solicitation. Market research confirmed no additional sources expressed interest or capability. Alternate sources would need to qualify according to the design control activity's procedures.
