About this opportunity

The Naval Air Systems Command intends to award an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for Presidential Helicopter integration and modification services. The procurement focuses on supporting VH Presidential Helicopters (VH-92A, VH-60N, and VH-3D), including simulator, training devices, and ground support equipment modifications. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer and FAA Type Certification holder, Sikorsky will be responsible for technical analysis, design integration, modification certification plans, and retrofit support. The contract requires Sikorsky to coordinate with FAA Organizational Delegated Authority to obtain approval for updates to the S-92 Type Certification. Interested parties are requested to submit a capability statement by March 13, 2025, with the government reserving the right to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement based on responses received.

This pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside for small businesses, though subcontracting opportunities are available for small businesses interested in participating. The contract will encompass comprehensive services including program management, engineering, integrated logistics support, configuration management, system integration lab operations, testing, and FAA certification activities. While no specific award value is disclosed, the scope suggests a significant multi-year effort focused on helicopter system improvements and sustainment. The procurement is being conducted under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which allows for a sole-source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The opportunity is specifically tied to the Presidential Helicopter fleet and aims to rapidly integrate and field technological upgrades to enhance capability, address obsolescence, and improve reliability and sustainability of the aircraft systems.
