The Naval Air Systems Command, under the Department of Defense, has issued a sole-source justification for the procurement of spare parts, technical services, and retrofit kits for T58-GE-400B and T700-GE-401 engines. These components are critical for the operation of VH-3D and VH-60N Presidential Helicopters. The contract action is executed under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-10-G-0007 with The General Electric Company, with an estimated total value of 28,700,000 dollars and an expiration date of August 31, 2015. The award is justified as a sole-source procurement because General Electric is the original equipment manufacturer and the only entity possessing the proprietary technical data required for these specific engine parts and services. This action falls under NAICS code 336412 and is managed by the Naval Air Systems Command office located in Patuxent River, Maryland.
