Flight Instruments

Product Service Code (PSC) 6610 encompasses flight instruments, which are critical electronic devices used in aviation for navigation, guidance, performance monitoring, and flight control. These instruments include altimeters, indicators, processors, recorders, and other specialized equipment primarily designed for military aircraft platforms such as helicopters (UH-60 Blackhawk, H-60) and fixed-wing aircraft. The components are typically highly sophisticated, precision-engineered items that require extensive technical expertise to manufacture, repair, and maintain.

The federal contract awards under PSC 6610 demonstrate a consistent pattern of high-value procurement and repair contracts, primarily from the Department of Defense, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. Most awards range from approximately $5,000 to $7.8 million, with contract durations typically spanning 12-24 months. Frequently awarded entities include Rosemount Aerospace (a Raytheon Technologies subsidiary), Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, L3Harris Aviation Products, and Carp Industries. The majority of awards are not set aside for specific business types, though some contracts utilize small business designations. Performance locations are predominantly within the United States, with significant concentrations in Connecticut, Florida, and Alabama.

Recent federal contract opportunities for PSC 6610 focus on repairing, modifying, and procuring complex flight instruments for various military platforms. The opportunities primarily originate from the Naval Supply Systems Command and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, seeking components such as air data computers, flight processors, encoders, and multiple display units. Most opportunities involve quantities ranging from 1 to 200 units, with delivery destinations including military bases and logistics centers in locations such as Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. The solicitations consistently emphasize technical complexity, requiring detailed source approval processes and stringent quality control standards for these critical aviation components.
