The projected period of performance for this modification is 2027-2031. This action is intended to be awarded on a sole-source basis to LM RMS under the authority permitting other than full and open competition, Title 10, U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Type of Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.” LM RMS is the original equipment manufacturer, designer, developer, and systems integrator for the MH-60R aircraft and associated weapon system.
