The Naval Air Systems Command awarded a sole source contract to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for Sustaining Engineering and Logistics Reachback for the MH-60R/S aircraft. This action was executed under the authority of Title 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) and FAR Part 6.302-1, as Sikorsky is the prime contractor and the only source with the necessary proprietary technical data, expertise, and experience to satisfy the agency requirements.
