The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Delivery Order under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N0001923G0002 on a sole source basis to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS) in Owego, NY. This effort is for the Main Rotor Damper Pressure Loss Sensing System program in support of the MH-60R and MH-60S aircraft, which includes United States Navy (USN) and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) aircraft. This BOA order includes the initial non-recurring engineering in support of the development of a Main Rotor Damper pressure loss indicating system for the MH-60R and MH-60S aircraft. The projected period of performance will be December 2024 through June 2026.

This action is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS) under the authority permitting other than full and open competition, 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." LM RMS is the sole designer, developer, systems integrator, and manufacturer of the MH-60R and MH-60S aircraft and weapon system and, as such, is the only source with the requisite knowledge and skilled personnel, facilities, manufacturing tooling, test equipment, experience, and technical data necessary to provide the required supplies and services.

Note: This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. The Government does not intend to fund the development or qualification of other sources for fulfilling this requirement, as production for the supplies listed requires a substantial initial investment or an extended period of preparation for manufacture. However, the Government will consider all proposals received within thirty days after the publication of this synopsis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

Questions concerning subcontracting opportunities should be directed to Ms. Sheila Oechslin at (607) 751-6438. Contractor Name and Address: Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems, 1801 State Route 17 C, Owego, NY 13827.
