About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command, in support of the PMA-261 CH-53 Heavy Lift Helicopters Program Office, intends to procure Non Recurring Engineering (NRE) services to integrate, test, and qualify SATURN Edition 4 waveform and ARC-210 GEN 6 RT-2036 Version 005 software for the CH-53K helicopter program. The procurement includes delivering Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) and technical data packages for Mission Systems Configuration 28 (MSC28), along with Advanced Data Transfer System (ADTS) upgrade test and verification services. This solicitation represents a sole source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1, justified by the requirement for only one responsible source that can satisfy the agency's specialized requirements. The government has determined that only Sikorsky possesses the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data as the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the H-53 airframe and integrator of its avionics and weapons systems. The solicitation was posted on June 13, 2025, with responses due by June 28, 2025, though this notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and will be awarded as a delivery order under existing Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-23-G-0002 to Sikorsky, A Lockheed Martin Company, located at 6900 Main St. Stratford, CT. The work will be performed at Sikorsky's Stratford, Connecticut facility, which serves as both the company headquarters and primary place of performance for this contract. While the solicitation notice does not specify exact award values or detailed timelines for service completion, it emphasizes that interested parties may still identify their interest and capability, and companies seeking subcontracting opportunities are directed to contact Jason Lockwood at Lockheed Martin. The procurement falls under NAICS code 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code 1520 for Aircraft, Rotary Wing, reflecting the specialized nature of the helicopter systems integration work. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete this contract based on any responses received to this notice of intent.
