Sikorsky is the Original Equipment Manufacturer of the CH-53K Heavy Lift Helicopter and holds the proprietary rights to the diagrams, schematics, and drawings for the DFDDP data and WRAs being acquired. The Government does not possess the technical data. This acquisition is being pursued under the sole source basis under the statutory authority 10 USC 2304 (c)(1), as implemented in FAR 6.302-1; therefore a solicitation is not available for this procurement.
