15--PANEL,STRUCTURAL,AI
NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support intends to award a sole-source contract to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for one structural panel (NSN 1560 016889459) used on the MH-60R helicopter platform. The government does not own the data or rights needed to source this part from other manufacturers, and no drawings are available. Other firms must obtain Source Approval, but the procurement will not be delayed for that approval. Delivery will be FOB origin, with UID and Buy American requirements applicable; the acquisition will be conducted under FAR Part 15, not commercial item procedures. The solicitation is expected to be issued around 29 August 2026, with award anticipated by 30 November 2026.
