Description
The Naval Air Systems Command, in support of the PMA-261 CH-53 Heavy Lift Helicopters Program Office, intends to negotiate and award a sole-source modification to an existing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) delivery order with Sikorsky. This contract action will incorporate a tailored vibration requirement into the OBIGGS NRE delivery order. The requirement is based on CH-53K flight-test data and provides a more representative aircraft vibration environment than the prior specification. Under the authority of Title 10, U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-1, “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements,” the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source for the proposed contract action described above. 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 necessary to provide the required supplies and services in support of the CH-53K program. The Government does not possess adequate license rights in the technical data package necessary to support a competitive procurement for this requirement. Accordingly, Sikorsky alone possesses the complete technical data, unique engineering support experience, and detailed knowledge of the CH-53K required to meet U.S. Navy requirements. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by responding to this notice. The Government will consider all information received before the closing date of this synopsis. Information received will be considered solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract modification based on responses to this notice is solely within the Government’s discretion. No telephone inquiries will be entertained. Responses must be submitted in writing by email, U.S. mail, or facsimile to the attention of Tyler Scott or Kevin Ritter using the contact information provided in this presolicitation notice. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Jason Lockwood, Sikorsky Subcontracting Manager, at 203-225-3657 or Jason.t.lockwood@lmco.com.
