The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM) intends to negotiate with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky), A Lockheed Martin Company, 6900 Main Street, Stratford, CT 06615, on a sole-source basis for the procurement of Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), products, and management required for sustainment of the CH-53K Helicopter during aircraft production and sustainment. The intended contract will be a delivery order under Basic Order Agreement (BOA) N00019-23-G-0002 for a Delivery Order with a base plus four options to include a six month option to extend in accordance with FAR 52.217-9. The Delivery Order is anticipated to be Cost Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF) type Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) and the base CLINs to be funded with FY27 funds. The option CLINs will be CPFF and funded with FY28-FY231 funds.

The proposed contract action(s) identified above are those for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Type of Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements.” Sikorsky is the designer, developer, and sole producer of the CH-53K® aircraft and is the only known contractor with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data able to provide the required level of supplies and services in support of the CH-53K® program. The Government does not possess adequate license rights to the required technical data package necessary to support a competitive procurement to fulfill the requirement herein. As a result, only Sikorsky has the technical data, unique engineering support experience, and detailed knowledge of the CH-53K® to meet the USN’s requirements.

The Government will consider all information received prior to the closing date of this synopsis. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract modification based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No phone inquiries will be entertained. Responses shall be made in writing by E-mail, U.S. mail or facsimile to the attention of Avery Dawson or Jamie Schoemaker using the contact information provided in this synopsis.
