1615012149140 / PITCH HORN ASSEMBLY / HELICOPTER, BLACK HAWK UH-60A, UH-60L, HH/UH-60M, UH-60V

The contract pertains to the sole-source procurement of 226 Pitch Horn Assemblies, designated by NSN 1615012149140 and part number 70102-08111-047, for UH-60A, UH-60L, HH/UH-60M, and UH-60V Black Hawk helicopters, with a total estimated value of $1,123,972.58. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 due to the absence of competitive sources, as only CAGE 5TP12 possesses the proprietary technical data, engineering approval, and specialized manufacturing capability required to meet the stringent reliability and performance standards tied to AMSC codes C, V, H, and others, which restrict data rights, sourcing, and production to a single qualified supplier. All performance, inspection, and acceptance activities are centered at the contracting office in Richmond, Virginia, with no options available and no formal delivery schedule or FOB terms specified. The procurement is administered by DLA Aviation under agency code SPE4A7, with Holly Simmons as the Principal Contracting Officer and Yolanda Calvin Maupin serving as the Competition Advocate, though no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative is identified. The acquisition excludes alternate sources due to insufficient or non-economic technical data, military sensitivity, and the requirement for Class 1 castings compliant with MIL-STD-2175, while special procurement notes M06/L04 supersede the deleted clause 52.217-9002. No formal evaluation factors, packaging requirements, invoicing methods, or accounting data such as TAS or AAC lines are provided, and while CUI controls apply, no specific security clearance or OCI provisions are detailed. The sole source justification is supported by AMSC codes H, D, L, and K, which collectively confirm limited data availability, below-threshold annual spend, and mandatory manufacturing standards, preventing any full and open competition.
