The CFTDs, FTD, and AMSPTT will be for the United States Marine Corps CH-53K Heavy Lift Helicopter under N00019-14-G-0004 (Basic Ordering Agreement) with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC) in Stratford, CT. The Government is seeking information on the availability of potential comparable sources to provide the above training devices and associated non-recurring engineering, equipment and support to the fleet.

NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. Contract/Program Background: SAC has been the sole designer, developer and manufacturer of the CH-53K weapon system since its inception. The Government awarded SAC the Systems Development and Demonstration (SDD) contract in 2006. Additionally, the Government awarded SAC a modification to the SDD contract for four System Demonstration Test Article (SDTA) aircraft in 2013. SAC was the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the legacy H-53 fleet. The Government believes SAC to be the only known responsible source possessing the requisite knowledge, technical expertise, special skills, technical data, facilities and experience to complete development, integration and production, of the specified training systems for the CH-53K. The Government has examined the availability of proprietary data possessed by SAC and has determined there to be insufficient data available to be provided by the Government to facilitate a competitive acquisition. Ongoing market research performed by the Government supports there does not exist a commercially available item or non-developmental item to satisfy the Government ™s requirement. Eligibility: The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing). The Product Service Code (PSC) is 1520 (Aircraft, Rotary Wing).
