American Eurocopter Corporation received a $4.02 million firm fixed-price delivery order from a U.S. government agency for HH-65 main gearbox overhaul and modification work. The contract, awarded on March 10, 2004, with an ultimate completion date of January 8, 2007, represents maintenance and upgrade services for the HH-65 Dolphin helicopter. The HH-65 is a twin-engine, medium-range recovery helicopter operated by the U.S. Coast Guard for search and rescue, law enforcement, and military readiness missions. Performance of this work was to be conducted in Grand Prairie, Texas. No set-aside designation was utilized for this award.

This delivery order reflects the ongoing sustainment requirements for the HH-65 fleet, where periodic overhaul and modification of critical drivetrain components are essential to maintain operational readiness and extend aircraft service life. American Eurocopter Corporation, as the original equipment manufacturer, was well-positioned to perform specialized gearbox work requiring technical expertise and access to proprietary systems and documentation specific to the Dolphin platform.
