Limited Course Justification Award

This contract is a limited source award issued under solicitation MZB-A-SS26-2387 to provide continuous engineering support ensuring the airworthiness of U.S. Army rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, including platforms such as the AH-64 Apache, CH-47 Chinook, and UH-60 Black Hawk. The work spans the full lifecycle of aircraft systems, covering new platform development, modifications to existing systems, and sustainment of currently fielded assets. Performance is centered in Huntsville and Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, with services delivered under a hybrid Firm Fixed Price/Time and Materials Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) and includes an optional six-month extension that extends the period of performance through February 1, 2028. The award was justified as a logical follow-on under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(iii), permitting non-competitive procurement due to mission continuity, unchanged technical requirements, and the necessity to avoid disruption to critical fleet readiness. The total ceiling value is $60,198,836.96, encompassing funding from Operations and Maintenance Army, Research Development Testing and Evaluation, Procurement, Foreign Military Sales, and Army Working Capital Funds. Subcontracting requirements mandate compliance with DFARS 252.219-7997 for a Small Business Subcontracting Plan under a test program and FAR 52.244-5 for competitive subcontracting practices. The government retains oversight responsibility for inspection and acceptance, with deliverables focused on structural qualification requirements, flight-critical analysis, test plan development, data review, flight test support, and repair solutions—all aimed at maintaining aircraft airworthiness and operational readiness. No specific technical standards, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, or detailed evaluation factors were provided in the documentation, and while the contractor is inferred to be Peraton, no UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications were formally certified in the record.
