16 - FMS Repair - Spindle Assembly

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is soliciting a sole-source contract for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) repair services on spindle assemblies for the Australian Government under FMS Case AT-P-GXO. The procurement involves repair of eight helicopter spindle assembly units across four Contract Line Item Numbers, all designated as Critical Safety Items (CSI) requiring specialized maintenance expertise. This requirement will be awarded under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00383-22-G-Y601 because the government lacks sufficient technical data to contract with alternative sources, and new source approval would cause unacceptable delays. Contractors must be government-approved sources or submit comprehensive source approval documentation per NAVSUP WSS requirements, with proposals failing to include required source approval data being rejected. The solicitation closes on September 9, 2025, with questions directed to Samantha Freedman at samantha.m.freedman.civ@us.navy.mil.

This procurement does not utilize any small business set-aside designations and operates under a sole-source justification limiting competition to pre-approved manufacturers. The contract structure is firm fixed-price with a performance period extending from September 19, 2025, through November 19, 2025, providing a two-month window for completion of all repair services. Each repaired spindle assembly unit must be shipped to the Australian Government Cargo Office in Brisbane via DHL Global Forwarding, with inspection and acceptance conducted by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Vertical Lift Stratford office. The work falls under NAICS code 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code 1615 for Helicopter Rotor Blades, Drive Mechanisms and Components. Performance location is within the United States, with the contractor responsible for coordinating international delivery to the Australian end user.
