About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), under the Department of the Navy, is procuring non-recurring engineering and production of MH-60R variant aircraft for the United States Coast Guard, along with associated support services including test aircraft, spares, systems engineering, project management, tooling, publications, and obsolescence management. This procurement is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS) under the authority of Title 10, U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with justification under FAR 6.302-1 based on the requirement for only one responsible source. LM RMS is identified as the sole designer, developer, systems integrator, and manufacturer of the MH-60R/S aircraft with exclusive access to the requisite technical knowledge, skilled personnel, facilities, manufacturing tooling, test equipment, and technical data necessary to fulfill the government's requirements. The government will consider all proposals received within thirty days of this notice's publication, though the final determination to compete or proceed with a sole source award remains solely within government discretion. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on November 17, 2025, with a due date of December 2, 2025, allowing interested parties two weeks to submit inquiries or proposals.
This procurement carries no set-aside designations. Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems is the incumbent and anticipated sole source awardee based on their unique position as the exclusive manufacturer of the MH-60R/S platform. The notice does not specify contract award values or budget ranges, nor does it provide details regarding the quantity of aircraft to be produced or the timeline for service delivery. The substantial initial investment and extended preparation period required for production, combined with LM RMS's established manufacturing capabilities and technical monopoly, form the primary justification for the sole source procurement approach. Interested parties are advised to contact the contracting officer regarding subcontracting opportunities related to this initiative.
Notice text
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intents to award a contract on a sole source basis to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS) for Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) and production of a MH-60R variant aircraft for the United States Coast Guard (USCG). Additionally, LM RMS will deliver test aircraft, aircraft spares to support test and production aircraft, platform associated support including systems engineering, systems/project management, tooling, publications, obsolescence management and related data in support of these items.
This action is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to LM RMS under the authority permitting other than full and open competition, Title 10, U.S.C. 3204(a)(l), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other type of Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." LM RMS is the sole designer, developer, systems integrator, and manufacturer of the MH-60R/S aircraft and, as such, is the only source with the requisite knowledge and skilled personnel, facilities, manufacturing tooling, test equipment, experience, and technical data necessary to provide the required supplies.
Note: This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. The Government does not intend to fund the development or qualification of other sources for fulfilling this requirement, as production for the supplies listed requires a substantial initial investment or an extended period of preparation for manufacture. However, the Government will consider all proposals received within thirty days after the publication of this synopsis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Questions concerning subcontracting opportunities should be directed to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems, 1801 State Route l 7C, Owego, NY 13827.
