Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System

The Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS MKIII SH-60B) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) operating under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. This program supports the maintenance and sustainment of mission systems and components for the SH-60B helicopter platform, which serves as a multi-purpose naval aviation asset. The program manages the acquisition and sustainment of critical aircraft components, avionics systems, and mechanical assemblies necessary for maintaining operational readiness of the LAMPS MKIII fleet.

The contract awards associated with this program primarily consist of firm-fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders for specialized aircraft components, including hydraulic systems, mechanical assemblies, avionics components, and structural elements. Contract values range from approximately $3,000 to $8.7 million, with typical performance periods of 6-18 months. Notable high-value contracts include Performance Based Logistics (PBL) agreements for T700 compressor rotors and gas generators, with individual orders exceeding $8 million. The majority of contracts are awarded without set-aside designations, suggesting full and open competition. The program includes procurement of specialized equipment such as signal data converters, battery chargers, and various mechanical assemblies critical to aircraft operation. While specific contractor information is limited in the provided data, the program demonstrates consistent procurement activity with regular contract awards for both major systems and smaller component parts.
