The scope includes procurement and installation of hardware, software updates, documentation updates, and validation testing.
NAVAIR asserts sole-source justification under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1 on the grounds that SAC is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the CH-53K weapon system and the only responsible source possessing the requisite knowledge, technical data, capability, experience, special tooling, and test facilities necessary to meet the Government's requirements within the required timeframes.
SAC's address is 6900 Main Street, Stratford, Connecticut 06614.
