About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to issue a sole-source delivery order under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-23-G-0002 to Sikorsky, A Lockheed Martin Company. The contract focuses on updating the CH-53K Integrated Computing Platform (ICP) software suite for maintenance of Israeli Airforce (IAF) CH-53K aircraft. The procurement will be executed under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which allows for a sole source selection when only one contractor can meet agency requirements. Sikorsky is deemed the exclusive contractor due to being the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the H-53 airframe, as well as the primary integrator of avionics and weapons systems. The solicitation is not a competitive proposal request, and the government retains discretion in determining whether to compete the contract based on potential responses. The notice was posted on May 15, 2025, with responses due by May 30, 2025.

The place of performance is located in Stratford, CT 06615, which is Sikorsky's primary facility. Interested parties, particularly potential subcontractors, are directed to contact Mr. Jason Lockwood at jason.lockwood@lmco.com for further information about subcontracting opportunities. While specific award values are not disclosed in the notice, the contract appears focused on software updates for military helicopter systems. The procurement is being conducted by the Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command, a defense agency responsible for acquisition and support of naval aviation systems.
