AI Contract Overview

The 341st Missile Wing plans to award a sole-source contract to Leonardo S.p.A for a 10-day initial qualification course tailored to four MH-139 Maintenance Test Pilots, citing the company’s status as the original equipment manufacturer as the sole source with proprietary knowledge of the MH-139 helicopter’s design, manufacturing, and engineering specifications. This exclusive access is deemed essential to ensure the highest standards of safety and technical accuracy in training, making competitive sourcing infeasible due to the absence of alternate providers with equivalent expertise. The requirement is not open to competitive bidding, and no formal solicitation will be issued; however, any responsible party may submit a written capability statement, proposal, or quotation prior to the deadline if they can demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the government. Responses must be submitted in writing by 5:00 PM MDT on August 15, 2026, to the designated point of contact at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, and oral communications will not be accepted. If no timely responses challenging the sole-source approach are received, the award will proceed without further notice.
