COMPUTER, AIR DATA

The contract pertains to the procurement of the COMPUTER, AIR DATA (NSN: 6610-01-614-3703, Part Number: 70600-01822-106) for the UH-60 BLACKHAWK weapon system through a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1(a)(1), due to the absence of government-owned technical data and the singular capability of one qualified manufacturer to produce the item. The acquisition is being conducted by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, with solicitation number SPRRA1-26-R-0067, which is currently a Sources Sought Synopsis, not a formal solicitation, indicating that no contract has been awarded and no pricing or delivery terms are yet established. The solicitation targets manufacturers capable of full production, including obsolescence mitigation, supply chain control, and compliance with DoD-STD-100 for engineering drawings and source control, while requiring active United States/Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) status for access to export-controlled technical data. Offerors must be capable of independently developing production capability without government technical data and must adhere strictly to ITAR and EAR export regulations. The place of performance is Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and the Government has expressed interest in small business participation across multiple categories including 8(a), SDB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, and WOSB, though no set-aside has been designated. The NAICS code 334511 applies, with a size standard of 1,350 employees. All respondents must possess a valid Unique Entity ID and CAGE code to participate, and JCP certification will be verified without exception — eligibility will not be deferred for applicants seeking certification after submission. No formal evaluation factors, contract clauses, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or invoicing details have been released as this is a market research notice intended to identify qualified sources, not to initiate a competitive bidding process. The proposed response deadline is August 27, 2026, and all inquiries should be directed to the primary point of contact, Matt Tatum, via email or phone. No contract value, CLINs, payment instructions, or delivery schedules are available; these will be defined only if a formal solicitation is issued following this initial sourcing effort.
