About this opportunity
Naval Air Systems Command's Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, NJ awarded a Firm Fixed-Price contract to Rhinestahl Corporation on September 16, 2026 for procurement of T408 Depot Peculiar Support Equipment (207 items) in support of the CH-53K Program, with an awarded value of $7.9 million.
The award was made under sole-source authority (10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1)) without competitive solicitation. The PSE comprises build-up stands, rotor balancing equipment, dimensional check tools, and modules for installation and assembly/disassembly of T408-GE-400 engine components, all critical for depot-level maintenance at Fleet Readiness Center-East. GE Aviation designed and holds proprietary rights to the equipment; Rhinestahl is the exclusive authorized manufacturer. Reverse engineering by an alternative source would incur an unacceptable 52-month delay. The Government has a critical requirement to establish depot capability by January 2027 to support aircraft readiness and repair throughput. Market research, a Sources Sought notice (June 6–13, 2025), and a contract synopsis (June 13–July 7, 2025) identified no alternative sources. Contract N6833526C1125. Place of performance: Mason, Ohio.
