This is a firm fixed-price contract for 45 rotor slip rings, with delivery required within 230 days to a distribution facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. The procurement is restricted, as the only approved source is Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, though other manufacturers may submit a source approval request. The government does not have a technical data package for this critical safety item. A solicitation will be issued via a letter to interested parties under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement and must be requested directly from the buyer. The final award decision will be based on factors including price and past performance.

This is a market research request for the manufacture of a specific slip ring rotor part, not a formal solicitation. The government is seeking capability statements from interested parties to determine the procurement method, which could be set aside for small businesses or full and open competition. The work involves the new manufacture, inspection, testing, and shipping of an estimated 45 units of part number 70550-28901-104. Responses are purely voluntary and must be emailed to the specified point of contact. The government will evaluate submissions based on the capacity to perform the scope of work, manage resources, and execute a performance-based contract.
