Quick Summary
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is conducting market research via a Sources Sought notice for C-130J/T Sustaining Engineering and Logistics Support Services. This effort supports the United States Navy Reserve (USNR) C-130J aircraft and United States Coast Guard (USCG) C-130J recapitalization aircraft, including peculiar spares due to obsolescence. NAVAIR intends to award a sole source modification to contract N0001924D0119 with Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Corporation (LMAC) for 2.5 years, citing LMAC as the sole designer and OEM. However, this market survey seeks to identify other potential sources and their technical capabilities. Responses are due by February 26, 2026.
Scope of Work
The required services encompass on-site field service representative support, sustaining engineering support, integrated logistic support, reliability improvements, configuration management, technical publications, peculiar spares (non-Defense Logistics Agency), and associated project management. This is a follow-on procurement to an existing sole source contract with LMAC.
