99--DOOR,AIRCRAFT

The Department of Defense's Navsup Weapon Systems Support office in Philadelphia plans to issue a sole-source solicitation to Sikorsky Aircraft Corp for the procurement of a single aircraft door, identified by NSN 1RD 9999 LLQUOJ355 H5 and part number 06206-01801-113. Sikorsky is the original equipment manufacturer and the only known source capable of providing support for this part, as the government does not possess the rights or data necessary to acquire the item from other suppliers. The procurement will follow FAR Part 15 procedures and is based on authority allowing sole-source awards when only one responsible source can meet the agency's requirements. Although this announcement is not a request for competitive proposals, any interested parties may submit capability statements or quotations within 35 days for consideration, primarily to determine whether a competitive procurement is warranted. The acquisition will not be a small business set-aside, and all communication and submissions must be handled electronically, with no hard copy support or telephone requests accepted. The solicitation will be posted on NECO, and interested organizations should contact the designated point of contact via email to express their qualifications or interest.
