The U.S. Navy intends to sole-source a contract to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for the purchase of seven blade retention bearings, as they are the OEM and the only known approved source. The anticipated award date is December 2025. While this is a notice of intent and not a competitive request, proposals received within 45 days of the synopsis will be considered for the purpose of potentially conducting a future competitive procurement. Performance location and budget information are not specified in this description. Interested parties may submit their capabilities via a designated email address.

This is an amendment to an existing FMS spares purchase, increasing the quantity by 32 units for a new total of 39. The customer is responsible for transportation costs, and shipment will be coordinated via a Collect Commercial Bill of Lading to the customer's freight forwarder. The requirement is not subject to small business review coordination. The contract is considered issued when deposited in the mail or sent electronically, and government acceptance of the contractor's proposal constitutes a bilateral agreement.
