Repair of NIIN 013356683 / Nomen: RESERVOIR,MANIFOLD

This solicitation, issued by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support under the Department of Defense, seeks repair services for a specific reservoir manifold (NIIN 013356683, P/N 70654-23802-102) to be performed exclusively by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. Due to the government lacking technical data or drawings and owning no rights to the proprietary information, the repair is restricted to the original equipment manufacturer. This sole source acquisition, conducted under FAR Part 15 negotiation procedures and exempt from FAR Part 12 commercial item policies, supports a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case. The contract is not a small business set-aside and excludes competitive solicitation, with the government stipulating that only Sikorsky Aircraft is considered capable of fulfilling the requirement. Contractors are invited to submit firm-fixed price or time, travel, and engineering cost estimates electronically by the specified deadline, with the government’s acceptance of the proposal constituting a bilateral contract agreement. Key requirements emphasize submission of capability statements or proposals solely by Sikorsky Aircraft, with any other offerors needing to provide a Source Approval Request to be considered, although the government will not delay the repair pending such approval. The solicitation does not specify detailed pricing, performance periods, or packaging instructions; inspection and acceptance locations are implied to be at the contractor’s and government facilities respectively but are not explicitly defined. The award will be made without competition or formal evaluation factors, relying on the sole source justification per 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. The contracting office is located in Philadelphia, PA, with Anna M. Kiessling as the primary point of contact for electronic submissions. This procurement excludes small business set-aside designations and socioeconomic categories, reflecting the unique technical data restrictions and sole source nature of the requirement.
