SOURCE PRE-QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

RMSC C: The HH-60G Transmission, NSN 1615-01-542-7514GC, Part Number 70351-58100-046, requires engineering source approval by the control activity to assure the integrity of the part. Alternative sources must pre-qualify by submitting a Source Approval Request (SAR) according to the design control activity’s procedures outlined in AFMCI 23-113 and receive approval from the applicable government engineering activity, AFLCMC/WIUEC.

SECTION A: ITEM IDENTIFICATION

STOCK NUMBER (NSN): 1615-01-542-7514GC

PART NUMBER (PN): 70351-58100-046

NOMENCLATURE: HH-60G TRANSMISSION

SECTION B: JUSTIFICATION FOR ESTABLISHING A QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT

The HH-60G Transmission is a Critical Safety Item and consists of complex precision-machined parts assembled per Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) drawing specifications to transfer power from the engines to the rotors in order to allow the helicopter to fly. The Transmission has special characteristics, which if not conforming to the design of the part could cause catastrophic failure that could result in complete loss of power to, and control of, the aircraft. Failure of the Transmission could result in the loss of aircraft and lives of the crew.

The overhaul of the HH-60G Transmission will require the contractor to conduct inspection/functional checkout and disassembly/assembly to restore to a serviceable condition end item that shall efficiently serve its intended purpose using the Army DMWR 1-1615-372 to overhaul the transmission up to the point of removal, disassembly, repair, and assembly of the tail takeoff housing and pinion, AF P/N 70351-38146-041, where the applicable technical reference will be NAVAIR A1-862QA-MDB-200.

Therefore, repair and overhaul sources must qualify in accordance with the appropriate Government engineering activity, AFLCMC/ WIUEC Engineering office, Robins AFB, GA. Additionally, AFLCMC/WIUEC Engineering office must approve the qualification procedures.

SECTION C: Pre-QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

Source approval information: Listed below are the minimum requirements necessary to become a qualified bidder on the HH-60G Transmission. The repair and overhaul of the HH-60G Transmission will require the restoration of the unserviceable assets to serviceable condition using the Army DMWR 1- 1615-372 to overhaul the transmission up to the point of removal, disassembly, repair, and assembly of the tail takeoff housing and pinion, AF P/N 70351-38146-041, where the applicable technical reference will be NAVAIR A1-862QA-MDB-200. The extent of overhaul or repair work required shall be determined by the initial inspection/functional checkout and the disassembly/assembly required in order to restore it to a serviceable condition end item if being overhauled, or required to return the HH-60G Transmission to a serviceable end item if being repaired, that shall efficiently serve its intended purpose.

The Government will not provide a transmission asset for repair in the pre-qualification process. The Government will, however provide a serviceable transmission asset as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) once a contractor is awarded a contract. This will be used as a Reference Asset in accordance with DMWR: 1-1615-372, WP 0100, Main Transmission Assembly Test.

a. Potential bidders shall provide a summary of the company’s capabilities, including detailed factory layout, a list of machinery, fixtures, tooling and test and inspection equipment.
