16--ACTUATOR,ELECTRO-ME

The contract pertains to a sole-source delivery order for 44 electro-mechanical actuators, designated as a Critical Safety Item, under solicitation SPRPA126FEH0Y, awarded to Hamilton Sundstrand Corp. (CAGE 73030) under FAR 6.302-1 due to the exclusive possession of proprietary technical data, engineering source approvals, and design controls by the manufacturer. The work involves repair, overhaul, and modification of the actuator with NSN 7RH 1680 016884860 and part number 825800-5, with performance conducted at Windsor Locks, Connecticut, and contractual oversight managed by the DLA Aviation office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The period of performance extends through April 30, 2027, with an additional one-year option available, though no pricing details are provided in the justification documentation. The acquisition is grounded in regulatory and statutory authority under 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 2.101 and 3.104, emphasizing that no other sources are capable of meeting technical specifications due to restricted access to design documentation and the necessity of maintaining quality assurance under government-controlled engineering standards. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities are shared, with the government retaining authority for final certification through naval design control activities and JDRS/ITIMP compliance, while the contractor must adhere to all technical and quality records mandated by the original equipment manufacturer’s approved processes. No competitive evaluation factors, pricing tables, invoice methods, or packaging specifications are detailed, as this document serves solely as a Justification and Approval for other-than-full-and-open competition, with point of contact information and contracting officials certified in support of the sole-source determination.
