- Description
- This notification is for market research purposes only to identify if other potential sources of supply can meet the requirements of the Department of Defense for providing H-53 Engineering Analysis services for sole-source Sikorsky parts. This is not a request for proposals, quotes, or an invitation for bids. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) seeks information that will be used to determine if any source other than the OEM, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC) - CAGE 78286, exists to designate this effort as a competitive acquisition. The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) code is 336413 - Aircraft assemblies, subassemblies, and parts (except engines) manufacturing. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all large and small businesses to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HubZone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. The government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable and identify your small business status to the identified NAICS code. This notice is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute an RFP or commitment by the Government. DLA Aviation at Richmond will be the contracting activity for this requirement. DLA has identified a requirement for engineering analysis services pertaining to the attached list of NIINs. Responses to this Source Sought will be used to determine which items can be procured on a long term contract (LTC) with current data/drawings and which will require additional engineering analysis for support. Items not suitable for immediate procurement may be procured on a separate vehicle to address technical data challenges. �Due to the age of the H-53 weapon system, drawings for some items are no longer up-to-date; tooling is no longer available or useable; materials may be obsolete and the vendor base has significantly diminished since the parts were last purchased. For these items, DLA lacks sufficient technical data to compete effectively and is looking for companies that possess the technical capability and access to data to produce these items. Interested parties should include a Raw Order Magnitude of what is needed to complete an engineering study to produce a source of supply for these challenge parts as well as time frame for completion. Respondents able and interested in performing the Engineering Analysis support are asked to provide a response to Jeremy.T.Reeves@dla.mil by the date listed in this announcement.� Please provide any anticipated teaming arrangements, along with a description of similar support offered to the Government and to commercial customers over the past three years.
