About this opportunity
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, NJ awarded a firm fixed-price contract to Davis Aircraft Products Co., Inc. for clamps (main rotor blade, p/n FDC8252-15) in support of the CH-53K program on September 9, 2026, with contract value of $945,702.18.
The award comprises 15 clamps for the CH-53K domestic program and 3 clamps for the Israel Foreign Military Sales program (Case IS-P-SCN). The clamps are peculiar support equipment enabling maintenance personnel to remove and position rotor blades for the main rotor blade rack assembly during O-level maintenance operations. The procurement was not competitively solicited under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). Davis, as the original equipment manufacturer, holds proprietary data and drawing rights; reverse engineering by alternative sources would require an estimated 18-month delay (10 months for engineering, manufacturing, testing, and qualification; 8 months for logistics data package development), creating unacceptable impacts on fleet maintenance and Foreign Military Sales partner readiness. Market research identified no alternative sources. A sources sought notice on SAM.gov generated one response with no further engagement.
