What this contract is for

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to negotiate and award a sole source Delivery Order with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC), a Lockheed Martin company 6900 Main Street, Stratford CT 06614 to upgrade the Avionics, Flight Controls, Hydraulics and Electrical System Integration Labs (SILs), Maintenance Data Computer (MDC) and Warnings Cautions and Advisories (WCA) test stands to a Production representative configuration for aircraft parts identified as priority by NAVAIR. This effort includes the procurement and installation of hardware, software updates, documentation updates, and validation testing to ensure functionality of new hardware. The Delivery Order will be awarded via a Basic Ordering Agreement with SAC. SAC has been the sole designer, developer and manufacturer of the CH-53K weapon system. SAC is the only known responsible source with the requisite knowledge, technical data, capability, experience, special tooling, and test facilities necessary to fulfill the Government's requirements within the required timeframes. This requirement will be procured in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-1, in that SAC is the only responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
