16 - FMS repair - blade, rotary wing

The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), a component of the Department of the Navy, is soliciting offers on a sole source basis for rotary wing helicopter blades (NSN 7R 1615-011589679, Part Number 70150-29100-041). The procurement involves six units of this critical safety item, classified as a 3C Critical Safety Item, with the acquisition falling under NAICS Category 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC Code 1615 (Helicopter Rotor Blades, Drive Mechanisms and Components). The government indicates it does not possess sufficient, accurate, or legible technical data to solicit from alternative sources, justifying the sole source procurement strategy. Prospective contractors must be aware that this acquisition is subject to Free Trade Agreements and the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement as outlined in FAR 52.225-3 and FAR 52.225-5. All proposals are due by January 13, 2026, and interested parties may direct questions to Mrs. Dana Scott at dana.l.scott14.civ@us.navy.mil.

This pre-solicitation notice involves no set-asides for small businesses or other designated groups. Any contractor that is not already an approved government source must submit source approval documentation along with their proposal, utilizing the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochure available at https://www.navsup.navy.mil/Business-Opportunities/Home/; proposals lacking the required source approval information will be deemed ineligible for award consideration. The notice was posted on December 29, 2025, providing potential offerors approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their proposals. While the pre-solicitation notice does not specify an estimated award value or contract budget, the procurement of six units of specialized critical safety components suggests a moderate-value acquisition typical of military aviation maintenance and readiness support. The sole source justification and government source approval requirements indicate that manufacturing capability and technical certification will be the primary evaluation criteria rather than competitive pricing factors.
