The contract was awarded under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, citing "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements."

Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP)
- Awardee: Fairbanks Morse Defense, LLC
- Authority: FAR 6.302-1 (Sole Source)
- Rationale: Fairbanks Morse Defense is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only source capable of providing these proprietary parts. The Government lacks the necessary data rights, specialized tooling, and metallurgical expertise to utilize an alternative source. Procuring from any other source would lead to unacceptable schedule delays and substantial duplication of costs.
