About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command, supporting the PMA-261 CH-53 Heavy Lift Helicopters Program Office, intends to negotiate and award a sole-source modification to an existing Basic Ordering Agreement delivery order with Sikorsky, with responses due November 13, 2026. The notice's Set Aside line reads "8(a) Sole Source," while the narrative justifies the action under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1 (only one responsible source) and names Sikorsky as the designer, developer, and sole producer of the CH-53K. The modification incorporates a tailored vibration requirement into the OBIGGS NRE delivery order, based on CH-53K flight-test data that provides a more representative aircraft vibration environment than the prior specification. The Government states it does not hold adequate license rights in the technical data package to support a competitive procurement. Classification is NAICS 336413 and PSC 1520. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by responding to the notice, which is not a request for competitive proposals. The Government will decide solely whether to conduct a competitive procurement, and no telephone inquiries will be entertained. The notice does not state place of performance, period of performance, quantity, or award value.

The Naval Air Systems Command, in support of the PMA-261 CH-53 Heavy Lift Helicopters Program Office, intends to negotiate and award a sole-source modification to an existing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) delivery order with Sikorsky. This contract action will incorporate a tailored vibration requirement into the OBIGGS NRE delivery order. The requirement is based on CH-53K flight-test data and provides a more representative aircraft vibration environment than the prior specification.
Under the authority of Title 10, U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-1, “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements,” the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source for the proposed contract action described above. Sikorsky is the designer, developer, and sole producer of the CH-53K aircraft and is the only known contractor with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data necessary to provide the required supplies and services in support of the CH-53K program.
The Government does not possess adequate license rights in the technical data package necessary to support a competitive procurement for this requirement. As a result, only Sikorsky has the unrestricted totality of technical data, unique engineering support experience, and detailed knowledge of the CH-53K to meet the USN's requirements.
THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.
Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by responding to this notice. The Government will consider all information received before the closing date of this synopsis. Information received will be considered solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
