The listed NSN is a Critical Safety Item (CSI). There is a no Depot Maintenance Work Requirement (DMWR) available for this item. This acquisition requires use of the cited statutory authority because this item has been identified as a CSI and therefore, requires overhaul by an approved source in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFAR), Part 2, Qualification Requirements Subpart 209.270-3. The statute requires that the Head of the Contracting activity for an aviation critical item enter into a contract for the procurement, modification, repair or overhaul of such item only with a source approved by the design control activity. The Fuel Control shall be overhauled to Honeywell Commercial Maintenance Manual (CMM) 73-20-21. The approved sources are Keystone Helicopter Corp., (CAGE: 4G088), 110East Stewart Huston Dr., Coatesville, PA 19320-1646, Rolls-Royce, (CAGE: 58320), 7200 Earhart Rd., Oakland, CA 94621-4511, and Honeywell International, Inc. (CAGE: 9X173), 3475 Wesleyan Blvd., Rocky Mount, NC 27804-8677. A Product Verification Audit (PVA) is required. Since this is a Critical Safety Item (CSI), only approved sources can perform the overhaul. Any competing contractor could not be familiar with the total design parameters, specific repair requirements, test processes, etc. for the Fuel Control, and, therefore, can reasonably be expected to require a considerable length of time to commence or complete a overhaul program, with no guarantee of success due to factors identified herein.
