About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Lockheed Martin Corporation Rotary and Mission Systems for L-382J aircrew training services, with an estimated value up to $9 million.
The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 12.201-1 as statutory authority for sole-source acquisition. NOAA determined that Lockheed Martin is the only capable source because the C-130J aircraft platform is proprietary to Lockheed Martin as the original equipment manufacturer; the company holds all copyright, licenses, schematics, and software coding. NOAA's first two C-130J aircraft are in production at Lockheed Martin's Marietta, Georgia facility with unique missionization modifications creating a NOAA-specific variant. A Notice of Intent posted to SAM.gov on June 1, 2026, with a June 16, 2026, closing date yielded no responses from interested parties.
The requirement is to establish a certified baseline crew of pilots and loadmasters to operate NOAA's forthcoming C-130J fleet. Training services include ground school academic classes, simulation sessions, ratings, and certifications in adherence to 14 CFR Part 141 (Pilot Schools) and Part 142 (Training Centers). The contract period runs from September 30, 2026, through August 31, 2029, with base training line items funded at award and optional training line items available throughout the three-year performance period. Prior to award, the Contracting Officer will perform price analysis under FAR 15.404-1(b)(2) and 15.404-1(b)(5) to ensure fair and reasonable pricing.
