AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Air Force is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing engineering and logistical support for the HH-60W helicopter platform, with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation identified as the only anticipated sole source due to its exclusive access to proprietary data, technical expertise, and original equipment manufacturer knowledge required to maintain operational, safety, suitability, and effectiveness standards. The support includes access to structural and component data, drawings, qualification records, and analysis methods necessary for sustaining the HH-60W fleet, and contractors must supply all materials, tools, test equipment, and services while ensuring replacements meet or exceed original quality standards, including maintaining and calibrating equipment at their own or subcontractor facilities. No set-aside classifications apply, and the North American Industry Classification System code for this effort is 541330. This request for information is strictly for market research purposes and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or an obligation for the government to award a contract; responses will not be treated as formal proposals nor compensated beyond potential inclusion as allowable costs under future contracts. Participation does not guarantee future contract opportunities, and respondents are not entitled to reimbursement for any expenses incurred. All correspondence must be directed to the designated primary and secondary points of contact, and submissions are due by August 20, 2026. The effort falls under the Department of Defense, managed by the Office at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, with the solicitation number FA8552-26-R-HH60W, and no security or foreign participation requirements have been finalized.
