About this opportunity

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a sole-source Delivery Order to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC) for the overhaul and repair of two Tail Gearbox Assemblies (Part Number X0606-00315-045) for the CH-53K aircraft. The procurement will include associated engineering follow-on support and will be executed through a Basic Ordering Agreement. NAVAIR has determined that SAC is the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the requirements, based on their unique position as the original designer, developer, and manufacturer of the CH-53K weapon system. The contract will be procured under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which allows for other than full and open competition when a single source is the only viable option. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on February 12, 2025, with responses due by February 26, 2025, indicating a relatively short solicitation period.

The contract has no specific set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS category 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. The estimated total value of the program is significant, with the related Class Justification and Approval document indicating a potential $1.368 billion across multiple fiscal years (FY2019-FY2028). The current procurement focuses on two specific tail gearbox assemblies, with Sikorsky being the exclusive contractor due to their proprietary technical data rights and specialized capabilities. Market research conducted through a Sources Sought notice confirmed no alternative sources exist for these specific requirements. The contract will leverage an existing Basic Ordering Agreement (N00019-19-G-0029) and will cover technical support, program management, engineering changes, software development, testing, logistics support, obsolescence management, and requalification efforts for the CH-53K aircraft and associated simulators.
