The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command awarded a definitive, firm-fixed-price contract to Martin-Baker Aircraft Company LIMITED, a foreign-owned for-profit organization, for the procurement of MD68 and MD69 items. The contract has a potential value of $1,333,771.74 and a completion date of July 29, 2021. The contract was not set aside for any specific business category.
The original solicitation was a sources sought notice issued by the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) in Mechanicsburg, seeking contractors to manufacture the specified items, as the government did not possess or could not provide the necessary data to perform the required manufacturing. This contract supports U.S. defense aviation programs and foreign military sales, with Martin-Baker potentially providing ejection seats, parachutes, aircraft components, maintenance services, engineering support, and various aviation parts to the Department of Defense, Department of the Air Force, Department of the Navy, and the Defense Logistics Agency under both prime and subcontract awards.
