Per Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 5.3, "Synopses of Contract Awards", on Thursday, 21 January 2021, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) awarded a non-commercial, single-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, to the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC). The IDIQ contract number is 70Z02321DAMH00400. This award was based off solicitation # 70Z02320RAMH00400, which did not have a set-aside.

This IDIQ contract has an $850 million ceiling and contains both Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) and Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) contract types.

Under this IDIQ contract, the USCG will place orders for the Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) related to the MH-60T helicopter hulls, as well as for up to forty-five (45) new MH-60T helicopter hulls.

The SAC will manufacture the hulls at its facilities and then deliver them to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

On the same day as the IDIQ award, the USCG awarded the first delivery order (# 70Z02321FAMH00300) to the SAC as well. This order was for $206,698,313.00 and was for the NRE and the first twenty-five (25) hulls under the IDIQ contract. Issuance of this order satisfied the guaranteed minimum under this IDIQ contract as well.

The Product Service Code (PSC) for this acquisition was 1520, "Aircraft, Rotary Wing", and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code was 336411, "Aircraft Manufacturing".

Per FAR Subpart 6.305, "Availability of the justification", the public release copy of the sole-source Justification and Approval (J&A) is attached to this notice.
