About this opportunity

Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, New Jersey intends to solicit and award a fixed-price contract on a sole-source basis to Safran Electrical & Power (CAGE Code 3CPE0) for Alignment Tool, PMA, part number 31610-9120, with a response deadline of May 20, 2026. This procurement is not competitive; the Government invokes FAR 6.302-1, citing Safran as the sole developer, designer, and manufacturer with proprietary data and exclusive knowledge necessary to produce the tool.

The contract covers two quantities in the base and two in an option period for CH-53K Program support, plus two additional units in an option period for Foreign Military Sales Program Israel (Case IS-P-SCN). Work supports O-Level maintenance operations for the CH-53K Aircraft. The Government does not possess the technical data or equipment to source this item from an alternate supplier.

Amendment 0001, posted May 15, 2026, updated the vendor's CAGE Code from 81640 to 3CPE0; all other terms remain unchanged. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. The Government will consider all information received prior to the closing date but makes no commitment to issue a solicitation, make an award, or reimburse any expenses incurred by interested parties.
