Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of structural fittings (NSN 1560-01-731-2095) for the H-60 Seahawk helicopter. This acquisition, under Solicitation Number SPE4A526R0112, is being pursued on a sole source basis due to the lack of other known sources and the OEM's unwillingness to provide data rights. The estimated value is between $900,000 and $20,000,000.

Scope of Work

Procurement of 496 units of structural fittings (NSN/PN: 1560-017312095, 96209-01013-106).
These components are critical for the H-60 Seahawk helicopter.

Contract Details

Type: Firm Fixed Price contract, anticipated to be awarded against a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA).
Value: Approved for over $900,000 and not exceeding $20,000,000.
Options: The contract will not include options for increased quantity or extended term.

Eligibility / Set-Aside

This acquisition is restricted to the only known source with the capability of furnishing the required supplies/services, citing 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1).

Justification & Process

A Sources Sought request posted on beta.SAM on December 11, 2025, yielded no interested parties.
The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286), is unwilling to sell data rights, making reverse engineering cost-prohibitive.
Technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition.
A synopsis was posted to FBO, and a letter solicitation will be provided to any firm requesting a copy.
