Quick Summary
The Department of the Army (W6QK ACC-RSA) is conducting a Sources Sought for SFMFOS and Retrofit Kits for the UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter. This market research aims to determine the feasibility of a competitive acquisition and identify capable sources for production and delivery. A significant constraint is that the Government does not own the complete Technical Data Packages (TDPs), and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Martin-Baker America, Inc., is the only known approved source with proprietary data. Responses are due by July 7, 2026.

The requirement is for the production and delivery of:
- SFMFOS: 354 seats (PN MBCS13850AB01, NSN 1680-01-573-6384)
- Retrofit Kits: 150 kits (PN MOD-CS092)
