Responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by May 6, 2021.
There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is identified as the potential incumbent and only qualified source due to owning the technical data and possessing the required skills and equipment from developing the training system. The agency intends to award the contract under an existing basic ordering agreement with Sikorsky. The notice seeks one training device for delivery to New River and options for three additional devices for Miramar, to match four CH-53K aircraft from Low Rate Initial Production lot 4. Small businesses interested in providing support services should contact Sikorsky's small business liaison.
