    JA - Sikorsky FSR - Approved_Redacted.pdf
    U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seeks to award a sole source contract to Sikorsky Support Services, Inc. for ongoing technical and logistical support of its H-60 Blackhawk aircraft. This contract follows a previous firm-fixed price agreement that expires on March 31, 2025, necessitating new support to prevent service interruptions. Sikorsky, being the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), is uniquely positioned to provide essential services, including maintenance, software updates, and troubleshooting, due to their proprietary technical knowledge and data. The proposed contract includes a base year and four option years for continued Field Service Representative (FSR) services. Sikorsky's exclusive technical expertise is justified under FAR regulations, asserting that no other vendors can fulfill CBP's requirements adequately. Market research revealed that alternative service providers could not support the entire scope of work needed, as they lack access to proprietary information and the comprehensive capabilities required for the aircraft's airframe and systems. The Contracting Officer has determined that costs will be fair and reasonable based on historical pricing analysis. This sole source justification aims to maintain airworthiness and mission readiness of CBP’s aircraft, emphasizing the critical nature of access to Sikorsky's proprietary data and technical support.
