HALON Replacement Phase Three

The Naval Air Systems Command intends to issue a Time and Material Order under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-08-G-0010 to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. The primary objective of this effort is to perform technical analyses, support, and evaluation of ground and flight tests to establish preliminary store carriage, launch, and jettison envelopes for two developmental Joint Air-to-Ground Missiles and their corresponding launchers on the H-60 aircraft. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is the joint designer, developer, and manufacturer of the H-60 airframe and possesses the proprietary data and technical expertise necessary to meet the requirements. In addition to the missile integration efforts, related procurement activities under Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition 08-593C authorize Non-Recurring Engineering, retrofit modifications, and integrated logistics support for H-60 aircraft, including requirements for Foreign Military Sales. The administrative oversight for these actions is managed through the Naval Air Systems Command office in Patuxent River, Maryland. This notice serves as an announcement of intent and is not a request for proposal.
