KC-130J Various Peculiar Support Equipment

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division awarded a sole-source delivery order under Basic Ordering Agreement SPE4A123G0021 to Derco Aerospace, Inc. for the procurement of various pieces of Peculiar Support Equipment in support of the KC-130J Program. This award, synopsized under Notice ID N6833525R0311, was executed in accordance with FAR 6.103-1 and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) because the contractor is the original equipment manufacturer and the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency requirements. The procurement includes 134 pieces of equipment, such as torque wrenches, adapters, hoist sets, and transport dollies, many of which are classified as Critical Safety Items. Because the contractor possesses the proprietary technical data and certifications necessary for these specific aviation tools, no other supplies or services could satisfy the requirement. The work is performed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, under NAICS code 333924.
