Sikorsky Aircraft wins $99 million Navy contract; work to be done in Owego

OWEGO, N.Y. — Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., a Lockheed Martin company, was recently awarded a $99.25 million cost-plus-fixed-fee, cost reimbursable, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract. 

This pact provides products and support required to rapidly integrate and field VH-92A aircraft simulators and trainers in support of the Presidential Helicopter Program, according to a Feb. 17 contract announcement from the U.S. Department of Defense. The products include delivery of technical analysis, technical reports, trade studies, and retrofit kits for ground-support equipment modifications that support deficiency resolution, capability/technology insertions, obsolescence redesigns, and reliability/sustainability improvements. 

The support includes program management, engineering, integrated-logistics support, configuration management, system-integration lab operation and maintenance, testing support, and FAA-certification activities, per the contract announcement.

Nearly all of the work (98 percent) will be performed in Owego, while a small fraction (2 percent) is completed at Sikorsky Aircraft’s Stratford, Connecticut facility. The work is expected to be wrapped up by February 2030. 

No funds will be obligated at the time of award; money will be obligated on individual orders as they are issued. This contract was not competitively procured pursuant to Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, the Defense Department said. The Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, Maryland, is the contracting authority.
