Derco LTC synopsis renewal of N0038318DN501

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to renew a sole source contract with DERCO REPAIR SERVICES INC for repair parts associated with the V-22 aircraft platform. NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia intends to award this contract under 10 U.S.C 2304(1), with DERCO identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer and the only known source capable of satisfying the requirements. The procurement involves specialized repair items for V-22 aircraft wheel and brake systems, falling under NAICS code 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. Potential vendors must meet Unique Item Identification requirements and any firm not already approved to manufacture the material must submit a Source Approval Request, though the procurement will not be delayed pending SAR approval. The solicitation is expected to be issued approximately June 2, 2025, with responses due by June 31, 2026, and will utilize electronic procedures posted to NECO/BETA SAM.

This procurement is not designated as a Small Business Set-Aside, reflecting its sole source nature with DERCO as the incumbent contractor. DERCO REPAIR SERVICES INC appears to be the current contractor based on the renewal nature of this opportunity, with their original equipment manufacturer status providing them exclusive capability for these specialized V-22 aircraft components. Buy American Clauses will apply to this procurement, indicating domestic content requirements for the repair parts. The contract timeline spans over a year between solicitation issuance and response deadline, suggesting a complex procurement process for these critical aircraft maintenance components. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications via email to the contracting officer, though the sole source determination indicates limited competition is expected.
