About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command, specifically the Commander of Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) Procurement Group located in Patuxent River, Maryland, has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a purchase order to AVION MANUFACTURING for services related to the H-53 Virtual Master Blade System. This special notice, published on April 2, 2026, announces the Navy's intention to award a contract on a sole source basis in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-1(b). AVION MANUFACTURING, identified by Cage Code 1WYD4, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the Virtual Master Blade System and has been determined as the only responsible source capable of meeting the Navy's operational and reliability requirements. The primary requirement is for test, evaluation, and repair services of the H-53 Virtual Master Blade System at COMFRC Aviation Support Equipment in Solomons, Maryland.
Although this is not a competitive solicitation, the Navy has established a three-calendar-day deadline from the publication date (through April 4, 2026) for any responsible sources to submit capability statements that may be considered for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead. Any capability statements received will be reviewed solely to assess whether competition is warranted; however, the government retains complete discretion in deciding whether to pursue a competitive approach based on responses received. Interested contractors should direct inquiries to the point of contact, Jenna Lang, at Jenna.l.lang2.civ@us.navy.mil. The requirement falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC code J039 (Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuild of Equipment—Materials Handling Equipment). While AVION MANUFACTURING is the anticipated sole source recipient, this notice allows other potential suppliers a limited opportunity to demonstrate their capability to perform these specialized services.
