The Naval Air Systems Command intends to issue a contract with Lockheed Martin Federal Systems Company (LMFS), 1801 State Route 17C, Owego, New York to configure five government-furnished SH-60B aircraft to the SH-60R configuration. LMFS is currently under contract with the Navy to develop the SH-60R helicopter, and to provide two prototypes and two test article SH-60R aircraft to the Navy. Because LMFS is the current developer and integrator of all SH-60R functionality, they are the only source capable of providing these five Low Rate Initial Production aircraft. See Note 22.
