Actuator, Electro-Me

This contract is a non-competitive, firm-fixed-price award for an electro-mechanical actuator (NSN 16300-01-055-3451, Part Number J115103-517) issued under sole-source authority due to the receipt of only one proposal. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as the component is proprietary, with technical data restricted and unavailable for reverse engineering, limiting capable sources to only Eaton Aerospace LLC and The Boeing Company. The contract quantity is 54 units, with performance taking place at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, under the oversight of the Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support. No pricing data is provided, and the total contract value remains unspecified, though options for increased quantity and term extension are included without numerical details. Quality and reliability requirements are enforced through AMSC codes including K (MIL-STD-2175 Class 1 castings), V (high reliability), and P (proprietary data rights held exclusively by the contractor), along with control of technical information via JEDMICS and CUI-FED ONLY markings. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities fall to the Government, though no formal inspection locations, criteria, or quality standards beyond implied AMSC-driven requirements are documented. The contracting officer is Kristian Hollingshead, with no designated COR/COTR identified, and payment, invoicing, and accounting details are omitted. The procurement process relied on an approved waiver of the sources sought notice and supporting documentation including AVN Form S53, NSN and AMSC listings, and technical drawings, all of which affirm the necessity of sole-source action due to irreproducible design, unobtainable data rights, and mission-critical system integration constraints.
