Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 20, 2026.
- Serious: Approved source only. Only Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is approved; any other maker must first get through a source approval package.
- Serious: No drawings available. The Government cannot furnish specifications or drawings, so a new maker must prove it can build the part some other way.
- Worth checking: Response date and expected issue and closing dates differ. SAM.gov's response date is November 4, 2026, but the text gives November 5, 2026 as the estimated solicitation issue date and December 5, 2026 as the anticipated closing date.
