16--AFT FOAM

The Department of the Navy's NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia intends to award a sole source contract to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for the supply of the NSN 1650 016672244, part number 06801-06006-124, which is an AFT FOAMI component designed for the CH-53K helicopter platform. This procurement involves five units delivered FOB origin, with the government emphasizing that Sikorsky is the original equipment manufacturer and the only known source capable of providing repair support due to lack of available drawings or data rights for alternative sources. The contract will be executed under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, with a requirement for potential suppliers to submit capability statements or proposals within 45 days of the notice, although the award will be made without delay for source approval submissions. The procurement process will follow FAR Part 15 procedures, utilizing electronic solicitation via NECO, with an anticipated issue date of September 19, 2025, and a closing date of October 19, 2025. The award is expected by November 30, 2025. The contract will incorporate Buy American clauses, UID requirements, and applicable NAICS and PSC codes. Interested parties must submit their capabilities and qualifications via email to Liam Cunningham, and all responses will be considered by the government, which reserves the right not to compete based on the responses received. This effort is not set aside for small businesses, and the government will not delay award for source approval processes.
