Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force (355 AMXS) has issued an Intent to Sole Source for the procurement of an HH-60W Front Pilot Windshield to WB Parts. This special notice, published on February 26, 2026, is not a solicitation but indicates the government's intent to negotiate with a single source due to urgency and the unavailability of timely competitive alternatives. Interested parties must submit capability statements within 3 work days of the notice's publication.
Purpose & Justification
This notice serves as an intent to sole source under FAR 6.302-1 for a critical HH-60W Front Pilot Windshield. The existing windshield has a crack, rendering the aircraft inoperable. Efforts to find competitive sources revealed lead times exceeding one year, which would severely impair mission requirements. WB Parts is identified as the only vendor capable of providing the windshield within an acceptable timeframe (estimated 7-10 days). The government does not possess the necessary data to manufacture the item or procure it from any source other than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The estimated contract cost is $37,575.00.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement is for one Factory New Front Pilot Windshield panel for the HH-60 aircraft.
