CH53K Airframe Project

The Defense Logistics Agency proposes to issue a solicitation for a sole-source contract, which will include multiple NSNs to support the following weapon system: CH-53K. A total of 4,170 parts are targeted for this contract effort. It is anticipated that all items will be Price Pending for the initial contract award. The proposed action is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE: 78286) as supported by a J&A IAW FAR 6.302-1. The proposed contract will be for a total period of performance of four years. Letters expressing interest in subcontracting provided to the contracting officer will be forwarded to the identified OEM. This is proposed to be a FAR Part 15 effort. The proposed contract will be a Requirements Type contract. The attached list of parts are the items that have been identified for this current action. If other NSNs are subsequently added, as defined by the terms of the contract, they will be synopsized separately. It is the Governments intent to use a letter solicitation format to the sole source Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM); therefore, if any non-OEM source is interested in any of the NSNs, please notify the Contracting Officer prior to the synopsis closing date. Surplus dealers are also invited to respond to this synopsis. The response should include a completed surplus certificate, DLAD 52.211-9000, Government Surplus Material or adequate traceability documentation to show that the product is acceptable. Responses to this announcement from other than the OEM should identify items of interest and include evidence of ability to supply the items for the contract period as identified. In addition, respondents should identify the quantity available and price. A copy of the letter of interest should be forwarded to the contracting officer identified herein and SBA PCR (anne.mastrincola@dla.mil). The Government may alter the acquisition strategy if purchase of existing surplus or newly-manufactured inventory is in the best interest of the Government.
