NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia plans to buy repair of 4 H-60 helicopter spindle assemblies for a Foreign Military Sales customer. It intends to award on a sole-source basis to Sikorsky. Other firms may still send a capability statement or quote, but the notice says it expects the award to go to Sikorsky.
Watch out for
- Sole-source to Sikorsky. The Government expects to award to Sikorsky, so a new bidder has very little chance unless it is already approved or the agency decides to compete it.
intends to solicit this repair requirement on a sole source basis to SIKORSKY (78286)
- Source approval will not delay award. A firm that is not already approved would have to get source approval separately, and the buy will not wait for it.
This procurement will not be delayed to wait for a SAR approval.
- Very short response window and conflicting dates. The notice says responses are considered within 5 days of publication, while the header deadline and the stated closing date do not match, so the real timing is unclear.
all proposals received within 5 DAYS after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government
