NSN2835-00-943-2216, BLADE,TURBINE ROTOR, WSDC: 22F, HELICOPTER, IROQUOIS HH/UH-1

The contract pertains to the sole-source acquisition of a turbine rotor blade with NSN 2835-00-943-2216 and part number 1-140-274-02 for Iroquois (HH/UH-1) helicopters, procured under solicitation SPE4A526R0117. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the unavailability of technical data necessary to support competitive sourcing, limiting qualified suppliers to NorcaTec LLC, the sole responsible source with CAGE code 9A148. The procurement was conducted as a firm-fixed-price contract with no competition, supported by market research and a published synopsis on SAM.gov, with approval authority up to $150 million under the HCA designation. The place of performance and contracting office are both located in Richmond, Virginia, 23237, under DLA Aviation’s Weapons Support division, with Brandy Coward as the primary point of contact and Eric Simpson listed as the contracting officer. No contract value is specified in the documentation, and no CLINs, pricing details, or delivery schedules are provided, indicating this is a justification document rather than a fully executed contract. Inspection, acceptance, packaging, invoicing, payment, and accounting data are not detailed, consistent with the nature of a justification for other than full and open competition. The item’s technical specifications are governed by OEM requirements and compliance with FAR 6.302-1 and DFARS 206.303-2, with no alternative suppliers possible due to the proprietary nature of the technical data. No evaluation factors, subcontracting plans, socioeconomic certifications, or special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel, or OCI mitigations were documented, reflecting a streamlined, non-competitive acquisition process focused on sustaining critical helicopter operations.
