99--CLOSE OUT ASSEMBLY

The Department of Defense's Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia plans to issue a sole source solicitation to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for the repair of one unit of a Close Out Assembly, identified by NSN 1RM 0000 LLF02N312 H5 and part number 06317-01123-042. Sikorsky is the original equipment manufacturer and the only known provider capable of supporting this part, as the government does not possess the data or rights to source this item elsewhere. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 15 procedures, excluding acquisition policies for commercial items, and will not be set aside as a small business opportunity. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements or proposals within 35 days to be considered, though the government intends to negotiate exclusively with Sikorsky based on authority granted under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Source approval applies to this item, and while other firms may request source approval, this process will not delay the procurement. The solicitation will be posted electronically on NECO, with no telephone or hard copy requests honored. The designated contact for submissions and inquiries is Anna Kiessling at the provided government email.
