The Naval Air Systems Command plans to award delivery orders on a sole source basis under BOA N00019-03-G-0014 to Lockheed Martin Systems Integration (LMSI) for both Cost Plus Fixed Fee and Firm Fixed Price contracts. These orders will cover engineering and logistics services, as well as related hardware and spares for the VH-71 program. The scope includes technical support for the Cockpit Procedures Trainer (CPT), Aircraft Operational Equipment (AOE) supporting the VH-71 System Integration Lab and trainers, and trade studies related to the ARINC-610B, Cockpit Display Development System, and software architecture modifications. LMSI is uniquely qualified as the sole designer and developer of the VH-71 system, possessing the specialized technical expertise necessary to perform these tasks effectively. The contract falls under NAICS code 336411 and is managed by the Naval Air Systems Command at Patuxent River, Maryland. The points of contact for this action are Contract Specialists Angie N Nelson and Boyd N Forsythe. The award mechanism reflects the critical need for continuity and expert knowledge in maintaining and advancing the VH-71 program’s system integration and training capabilities. This ensures that LMSI's unique experience and capabilities will be leveraged to support the program’s technical requirements without solicitation competition.
