Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition for the acquisition of SPINDLE ASSEMBLY (NIIN: 012382448, P/N: 70102-28100-048). This action is for the repair/overhaul of a Critical Safety Item (CSI) and is being awarded on a sole-source basis to Sikorsky (78286) due to their unique technical data rights and capabilities. The proposed contract action was synopsized on the government-wide point of entry on November 15, 2024. The expected final delivery date is November 3, 2026.
Scope of Work
This justification covers the acquisition of the SPINDLE ASSEMBLY (NSN: 7RE 1615 012382448 VH, P/N: 70102-28100-048) for repair and overhaul. The item is classified as a Critical Safety Item (CSI).
Rationale for Sole Source
- Critical Safety Item: The SPINDLE ASSEMBLY is designated as a CSI, requiring stringent qualification.
- Unique Capability: Sikorsky (78286) is identified as the only capable source possessing the necessary technical data to manufacture, test, and certify the item.
- Data Rights: The government does not possess sufficient rights to the required technical information (drawings, specifications, test procedures) to support a full and open competitive solicitation.
- Qualification Requirements: Alternate sources must undergo a rigorous qualification process approved by NAVAIR, following the design control activity's procedures.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (Sole Source)
- Statutory Authority: 10 USC 3204(A)(1), implemented by FAR 6.302-1
- Set-Aside: Not applicable (Sole Source)
- Synopsized Date: November 15, 2024
- Expected Final Delivery: November 3, 2026
Market Research & Future Competition
Market research confirmed Sikorsky as the only approved source due to the item's CSI status and lack of available technical data for other vendors. NAVSUP WSS will encourage vendors with relevant expertise to submit technical data packages for review and source approval to potentially increase future competition.
