The Department of Defense, specifically the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support office, is seeking to procure five units of the Connecting Link, Rig (NSN 7R-3040-012853018-VH, P/N 70400-08110-061) from Sikorsky Aircraft Corp, the sole source for this item. This procurement is critical as it supports the operational capabilities of the Navy, and no alternative sources are available due to the lack of drawings or data for this part. Interested parties have 45 days from the presolicitation notice to submit capability statements or proposals for consideration, with the anticipated award date set for November 2024. For inquiries, contact Anna M. Kiessling at (215) 697-3752 or via email at anna.m.kiessling.civ@us.navy.mil.
