Services Necessary to Support the SH-60B Software Support Activities (SSA), MH-60R/S SSA, MH-60R/S Production and Fleet Software Support, MH-60 Ship Integration/Installation Support for the MH-60R/S and SH-60B Fleet, and MH-60 Test Teams at HX-21 and VX-1

The Naval Air Systems Command intends to award a sole source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with Lockheed Martin Mission and Sensor Systems (LM MS2). It is anticipated that this contract action will result in Cost Plus Fixed Fee type task orders for the effort required (1) to provide technical, management, and process support necessary to update and maintain MH-60R/S and SH-60B operational software, vendor software, maintenance-related software, and laboratory support software, and software support services for the MH-60R/S and SH-60B Fleet; (2) to perform production software support of the MH-60R/S aircraft for delivery to the fleet; (3) to provide engineering support required for the oversight of Integration, Installation and Checkout (INCO) of ship electronics systems associated with the Multi-Mission Helicopter (MMH) Weapon Systems on newly-constructed AEGIS class destroyers as required by PMA-299; (4) to provide prime technical expertise to Patuxent River, MD H-60 test teams at AIRTEVRON TWO ONE (HX-21) and AIRTEVRON ONE (VX-1) in the conduct of testing, for obsolescent parts and upgrades for new capabilities; and test and evaluation of H-60 software and hardware. This action is being awarded on a sole-source basis to LM MS2 in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements," because LM MS2 is the sole manufacturer of the MH-60R/S helicopter avionics suite, common cockpit and all subsequent changes and improvements to the production aircraft. LM MS2 proprietary data is not for sale and access to the software is integral to the proper and timely accomplishment of the required software support. Therefore, LM MS2 is the only source with the requisite skilled personnel, test equipment, laboratory facilities and proprietary data to perform the required in-depth engineering and programmatic support to design, develop and incorporate avionics efforts onto the H-60 platform in a timely and cost efficient manner. Contractor Name and Address: Lockheed-Martin Mission and Sensor Systems (LM MS2), 1801 State Route 17C, Owego, NY 13827.
