This document outlines the justification and authority for awarding a federal contract under solicitation number 70Z03824QJ0000353, focusing on the acquisition of Engine Digital Electronic Control Units (EDECU) for T700 engines used in MH-60T aircraft. Funding will be utilized from Fiscal Year 2025 to 2030, with a purchase order already in place with Triumph Engine Control Systems LLC as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The EDECU is a critical component for engine health monitoring and performance management, consisting of specific technical data owned by Triumph.
The justification for not pursuing a full and open competition is based on 41 U.S.C. 1901, as Triumph holds exclusive rights to the required specifications and there are no alternative certified sources recognized by the U.S. Army. Furthermore, the acquisition adheres to the Buy American Act, ensuring compliance with statutory regulations. Overall, this document affirms the necessity and legitimacy of sourcing EDECUs solely from the OEM to sustain operational efficiency and safety in aviation assets.
