NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia plans to award a sole source contract to Robertson Fuel Systems, LLC for repair of 4 aircraft fuel tanks used on the MH-60R helicopter. Other firms may send a capability statement or quote, but the Navy says the OEM is the only known source and award is expected to go to that firm. The solicitation is expected around October 16, 2026.
Watch out for

- No drawings or data rights. The Government does not own the data, so a new source cannot be qualified without the OEM's data.
