Redacted J&A: Solicitation for the maintenance and Overhaul of the Computer Flight Control for the UH 60

This Special Notice involves a redacted Justification and Approval (J&A) document published by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal for the maintenance and overhaul of Computer Flight Control systems used in UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. The notice references solicitation numbers W58RGZ-25-R-0049 and W58RGZ-25-D-021, indicating multiple related procurement actions. The Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) Logistics Center is seeking to establish a sole source procurement arrangement for these critical flight control components. The notice was posted on September 29, 2025, and does not utilize any set-aside designations for small or disadvantaged businesses. The procurement falls under defense contracting authority and involves specialized aviation maintenance services.

The underlying procurement seeks to establish a five-year, firm-fixed-price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation for Computer Flight Control maintenance and overhaul services. The contract structure includes a minimum quantity requirement of 120 units and a maximum ceiling of 720 units, with provisions for both domestic Army requirements and potential Foreign Military Sales quantities. The sole source justification is based on Hamilton being the only remaining qualified contractor after Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation declined to bid, and Hamilton possesses the proprietary technical data, specialized expertise, tooling, and machinery necessary to perform the overhaul work. The procurement will be funded through Army Working Capital Funds for US quantities, and the contract will include provisions for subcontracting opportunities to promote small business participation. The government intends to continue seeking additional qualified sources for future competitions while maintaining this critical maintenance capability for the UH-60 fleet.
