The assembly has been uniquely designed by the OEM, Sikorsky. This assembly has special characteristics which if not conforming to the design of the part could cause catastrophic failure pointing the aircraft directly at the ground. Failure of this item could result in the loss of aircraft and lives of the crew. Impediment to Competition: The OEM for this item is Sikorsky, CAGE Code 78286. This item is only used on the military H-60 helicopter. The government does not own the rights to the data required to manufacture the assembly. The OEM is unwilling to sell the rights of this data to the Government. This component is designed, qualified and manufactured exclusively as the Sikorsky 70200-27001-046 Stabilator assembly for the H-60 helicopter. No commercial aircraft item fits the criteria and only Sikorsky has the necessary data to produce the item. The product is not under the configuration control of the government. Sikorsky designed the Stabilator to work on the H-60 helicopter that they designed for the government. Sikorsky has expert knowledge of the system and the needs of the end item. There is currently insufficient justification for obtaining funds to reverse engineer or qualify additional sources for this item. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Sikorsky for the manufacture of the Stabilator in support of the HH-60G helicopter program. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 12 Aug 2015 to Chris Boarman ( chris.boarman.1@us.af.mil ) or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil. The Government intends to procure these items using Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
