Synop-NIIN:016047562

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) is seeking to procure a specific aircraft part (NSN: 1615 016047562) for the H-60 platform, specifically a DAMPER ASSY manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft Incorporation. This is a sole-source procurement where Sikorsky is the only known source due to their status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the government's lack of technical data rights to seek alternative manufacturers. The solicitation will be electronically posted to NECO, with interested organizations required to submit their capabilities and qualifications via email to Julianna Macrillo within 5 days of the notice. The procurement will utilize FAR Part 15 procedures and include Buy American Clauses, with potential vendors needing to be prepared to meet Unique Identifier (UID) requirements. Some vendors may also need to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) if they are not already an approved manufacturer.

The procurement is not designated as a small business set-aside and will follow standard federal contracting procedures. While specific award values are not detailed, the anticipated award date is set for 30 June 2025. The contract falls under NAICS Category 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing and PSC Category 1615 for Helicopter Rotor Blades, Drive Mechanisms, and Components. NAVSUP WSS has indicated they will not delay the award pending source approval, suggesting a streamlined procurement process. The requirement is specifically for a single aircraft part component, indicating a focused and precise procurement need. Potential contractors should be prepared for a potentially competitive evaluation process, despite the sole-source intent with Sikorsky Aircraft Incorporation.
