The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to negotiate a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a five-year ordering period on a sole source basis to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS) of Owego, NY. This IDIQ is for the procurement of technical analysis, engineering, integration support and requirements development in support of the H-60 aircraft, otherwise known as the Technical Maturation IDIQ II (TMIDIQ II). Specific performance requirements will include initial technical and integration analysis, interface management, modeling and simulation, risk/opportunity mitigation, engineering and integration support for emergent systems, fleet readiness improvements, impact analysis for current and future configurations, Systems Engineering Technical Reviews (SETR) analysis, up to and including Systems Functional Review (SFR) of the MH-60R aircraft procured by the NAVAIR Multi-Mission Helicopter Program Office (PMA-299). The purpose of these technical and engineering efforts is to provide analysis of urgent user needs and evolving technology enhancements and assist in accelerating the introduction of enhancements identified by the Government. The scope of support required shall be defined by individual Delivery Orders issued under an IDIQ Contract. The intended place of performance is the Contractor’s facility in Owego, NY. The projected Period of Performance shall be April 2025 through March 2030. The Government intends to award this action on a sole source basis to LM RMS under the authority permitting other than full and open competition, Title 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” LM RMS is the sole designer, developer, systems integrator, and manufacturer of the MH-60R/S aircraft and as such is the only source with the requisite knowledge, skilled personnel, facilities, tooling, test equipment, experience, and technical data necessary to provide the required supplies and services. This Notice is not a request for competitive proposals. The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Questions concerning subcontracting opportunities should be directed to Mr. Brian Simpson at brian.1.simpson@lmco.com.

Introduction: The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Multi-Mission Helicopter Program Office (PMA-299), Patuxent River, Maryland, is seeking qualified sources that can provide Technical Analysis, Engineering, Integration Support, and Requirements Development capability for the MH-60R aircraft that can meet the PMA-299 requirement. This Market Research tool is being utilized to identify potential and eligible firms, of all sizes, prior to determining the method of acquisition and issuance of a solicitation. The analysis and trade studies will include both hardware integration into the MH-60 aircraft and software integration into the Avionics Operating Program (AOP), a Lockheed Martin proprietary product. This effort includes, but is not limited to, non-recurring engineering (NRE), systems engineering, software engineering, integrated logistics support, prototyping, as well as validation and verification of changes. The Government will review industry responses to this Sources Sought to determine the appropriate method of acquisition. Requirement: Specific performance requirements will include initial technical and integration analysis, interface management, modeling and simulation, risk/opportunity mitigation, hardware or software design and integration support for emergent or modified systems, implementation recommendations, product support analysis, preliminary reliability and maintainability predictions, fleet readiness improvements, spectrum supportability, impact analysis for current and future configurations, Systems Engineering Technical Reviews (SETR) analysis, up to and including Preliminary Design Review (PDR) of the MH-60 aircraft. The purpose of these technical and engineering efforts is to provide analysis of urgent MH-60 user needs and evolving technology enhancements that shall assist with the development and integration of new technology solutions and common avionics upgrades identified by the Government. Background: As the U.S. Navy’s multi-mission maritime helicopter, the MH-60 aircraft is operationally deployed in support of anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare for open ocean and littoral zones. Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS) is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the MH-60R/S helicopter mission avionics suite, common cockpit, and all subsequent changes and improvements therein to the production aircraft. Currently, the Government does not possess unlimited rights to the necessary data developed by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Lockheed Martin Corporation, for integration of new hardware or software into the aircraft. Submission Details: Responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which will be considered by the agency. Any statement must clearly demonstrate the capability to respond to this requirement without detriment to the H-60 Helicopter Program and must include personnel/resources specifically qualified to provide the supplies/services described. The capability statement must include the company’s approach to accomplish this effort in support of the H-60 Helicopter Program. Each capability summary should address at a minimum the following: Description of MH-60 specific Technical Analysis, Engineering, Integration Support and Requirements Development capabilities. Capability description, with specific product examples, to perform the following tasks: a. Perform analysis, and engineering investigations to assist the Government in resolving aircraft safety, performance, integration, and/or operational issues in conjunction with integration of subsequent system/platform enhancements or configuration changes to the MH-60 aircraft. b. Perform simulation and modeling to assist Government in demonstrating technology capabilities and integration into the MH-60 configuration. c. Analyze potential MH-60 enhancements to determine if they necessitate updates to any Flight Certification and/or Navai Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS)/DASH-1 performance charts. Responses to this Notice are not to exceed 10 pages in length on 8.5 X 11-inch paper with one-inch margins and font no smaller than 10-point Times New Roman.
