NRE for production incorporation of Operator System Interface (OSI)

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) plans to award a sole source contract to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for Non-recurring Engineering (NRE) tasks related to the production incorporation of Government Furnished Equipment for the Next Generation Operator System Interface (NGOSI). This initiative involves replacing the current Control Indicator keysets with an updated system that matches form, fit, and function requirements. The contract will be issued under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-08-G-0010, and procurement will follow FAR 6.302-1 guidelines, limiting competition due to there being only one responsible source capable of fulfilling this requirement. The place of performance for this work is Stratford, CT. The contract is designated under solicitation number N00019-09-P7-AU804 with a NAICS code of 336413, indicating its classification within aerospace product and parts manufacturing. The Naval Air Systems Command, based in Patuxent River, MD, administers this contract with designated points of contact including Contract Specialists Jennifer L Roberts and John C Lyons. Subcontracting opportunities related to this effort can be directed to the contracting officer at Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. This action emphasizes the critical nature of the interface upgrade to support ongoing operations and systems modernization within the Department of Defense.
