Quick Summary

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the procurement of PANEL, STRUCTURAL, AI (NSN/PN: 1560016822207). The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation intends to acquire 75 units of this item on a sole-source basis from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, citing their status as the only known source. The justification is approved for an amount between $750,000 and $15,000,000.

Purpose & Scope

The purpose of this justification is to authorize a sole-source acquisition for an increase in the total quantity and price of existing contract line items for the PANEL, STRUCTURAL, AI. This critical airframe structural component is required for an unspecified program. Efforts to identify other sources, including a sources sought notice posted on August 4, 2021, yielded no interest. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, is unwilling to sell data rights, making reverse engineering cost-prohibitive and impractical.

Contract Details

The acquisition will be structured as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract. It includes options for increased quantity and/or an extended contract term. The estimated value of this sole-source procurement is between $750,000 and $15,000,000. An award is anticipated against a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with Sikorsky Aircraft Corp (CAGE 78286).

Eligibility

This acquisition is restricted to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation as the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisitions from only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
