Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of 26 Each (EA) of CONTROLLER, ENGAGING, P/N 1781327-4 (NSN 6615009646413). This acquisition is restricted to FIRSTMARK AEROSPACE CORP (CAGE 3BMV1) as the sole source. The justification was published on March 20, 2026.
Purpose & Justification
This document justifies the sole source acquisition under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which applies when an item is available from only one or a limited number of sources. A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.gov on September 8, 2025, but no other vendors responded with an intent to provide the required item. The decision to proceed with a sole source is also based on the unavailability of technical data necessary to permit full and open competition, with existing data reflecting the Government's minimum needs.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement is for 26 Each (EA) of CONTROLLER, ENGAGING, identified by National Stock Number (NSN) 6615009646413 and Part Number 1781327-4. This item falls under Product Service Code 1615 (Helicopter Rotor Blades, Drive Mechanisms And Components). The place of performance is Richmond, VA.
Contract Details
The acquisition will be a Firm Fixed Price contract, conducted under FAR Part 15. While the total estimated dollar value is not explicitly stated, the justification was approved by the Contracting Officer for an amount not exceeding $750,000. The acquisition may include an option for an increased quantity or an option to extend the term.
Action for Industry
Although this is a sole source justification, the DLA Aviation encourages other sources to submit source approval packages for consideration. A solicitation will be prepared, including Procurement Notes M06 & L04, and will be provided to any firm requesting a copy. Contracting will proceed by negotiations, with cost determined fair and reasonable under FAR Part 15.
