Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the sole-source acquisition of 34 units of "CONTROL, ELECTRIC LI" (NSN 6220-01-226-1776 / PN 70550-01148-101) for Blackhawk UH-60 helicopters. This action is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) unwillingness to sell data rights, preventing full and open competition.
Purpose & Scope
This JOFOC supports the acquisition of 34 units of the specified electric control component. The DLA requires these controls for Blackhawk UH-60 helicopters. The justification outlines that developing a technical data package for competitive procurement would necessitate cost-prohibitive reverse engineering, making a sole-source award to the OEM, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286), the only viable option.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: FIRM FIXED PRICE
- Anticipated Award Vehicle: Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA)
- Original Source: Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286)
- Estimated Value: The justification is approved at the Contracting Officer level for acquisitions not exceeding $750,000. Options for increased quantity or term extension may be included, with values to be determined.
Eligibility & Set-Aside
This acquisition is restricted to the identified sole source (Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation). A synopsis was previously posted on beta.SAM on June 10, 2025, and no interest was received from other potential sources. This is not a solicitation for proposals.
Key Information
- The OEM is unwilling to sell data rights, which is the primary barrier to full and open competition.
- Efforts to overcome barriers to competition include the possibility of preparing a solicitation if other manufacturers express interest and can submit source approval packages.
- The place of performance is Richmond, VA.
