About this opportunity
The Air Combat Command, under the Department of the Air Force, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source the procurement of an HH-60 Front Pilot Windshield to WBPARTS. This notice was posted on March 5, 2026, with a response deadline of March 10, 2026 (three work days after publication). The procurement is for a Factory New Front Pilot Windshield panel with NSN 1560-01-486-4894 and part number 70206-01003-044, estimated at $37,575.00. The contracting activity is the 355 Contracting Squadron of Air Combat Command. This is not a competitive solicitation; rather, it serves as notification that the government intends to negotiate with a single source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1.
The objective of this procurement is to address an operational readiness issue caused by a cracked windshield that has grounded an HH-60W aircraft. The government determined that sole sourcing is necessary because the original equipment manufacturer and other vendors consulted could not provide the windshield within acceptable timeframes, with most quoting lead times exceeding 400 days, while WBPARTS has inventory available with a 7-10 day delivery window. Although this notice is not a formal solicitation, all responsible sources may submit capability statements within the three-work-day response window for government consideration. The government reserves the right to determine whether to proceed with the proposed sole-source award based on responses received; however, source approval will not delay the award process. All responses must be submitted by March 10, 2026, to be considered by the government.
