Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of 216 electrical harnesses (NSN 5999-01-706-0030) for UH-60A, UH-60L, and UH-60V helicopters. This action is based on a limited source justification, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, holds proprietary data rights.

Purpose & Scope

The DLA Aviation - FMBA requires 216 units of electrical harnesses (NSN/PN: 5999-017060030, 70070-95211-011). This Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) explains the rationale for proceeding with a limited source acquisition for these critical components.

Justification & Eligibility

The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisitions from only one or a limited number of sources. Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286) is identified as the OEM and is unwilling to sell data rights. Consequently, full and open competition is deemed impossible without reverse engineering, which is considered cost-prohibitive. Technical data necessary to permit full and open competition is not available.

Contract Details

This acquisition will be a Firm Fixed Price contract, anticipated to be awarded against a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA). The estimated value of this acquisition does not exceed $750,000.

Potential for Competition

A Sources Sought request was posted on beta.SAM.gov on July 2, 2025, and a synopsis was posted to FBO on July 24, 2025. While currently a limited source, if other manufacturers are interested and can demonstrate capability, a solicitation may be prepared, and sources are encouraged to submit source approval packages for consideration.
