CH-53 Depot Level Aircraft Modifications

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is conducting a Sources‑Sought market research to identify qualified businesses—total small‑business set‑aside—to provide depot‑level modification services for CH‑53E/K heavy‑lift helicopters. Required capabilities include inspection, disassembly, modification, re‑assembly, post‑inspection, operational checks and documentation of aircraft modifications per applicable Technical Directives, as well as fabrication and delivery of retrofit A‑Kits. Work will be performed at government‑owned CONUS and OCONCUS sites, primarily MCAS Miramar and MCAS New River, with occasional tasks at locations such as MCAS Futenma, Japan. The anticipated contract will cover FY27‑FY31 and is expected to be a Cost‑Plus Fixed‑Fee, Firm‑Fixed‑Price, or Time‑and‑Materials award. Interested firms must submit a concise capability statement (≤10 pages, single‑spaced, 12‑point font) that identifies business size, provides a company profile (employees, revenue, UEI, locations), and demonstrates recent experience (last five years) with rotary‑wing depot‑level modifications, compliance with COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2, access to CH‑53E/K technical data, production and engineering processes for A‑Kits, and ability to meet task‑order timelines. Respondents must also show they can perform at least 50 % of the work with similarly situated entities, and include required contact information. Submissions are to be emailed in Word or PDF to Jamie Schoemaker and Charles Johnson by 5:00 p.m. EST, 13 May 2026; no phone calls or classified material are accepted.
