About this file

Written by GovTribe AI · Dec 18, 2025

This is a Request for Information (RFI) for a UH-60 Black Hawk Commercial Modification program issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal. The comprehensive RFI seeks detailed vendor capabilities and insights for modifying UH-60M aircraft through a multi-year modification line, with vendors required to complete an extensive Excel workbook covering nine sections: administrative details, aircraft experience, capability and capacity, facility and security information, labor and overhead costs, quality and safety processes, technical considerations, risk assessment, and preferred partnership models.

The RFI explores potential partnership structures (prime/subcontractor, joint venture, public-private partnership) and requires vendors to provide granular information including current aircraft servicing experience, supply chain management, facility capabilities, labor rates, technical expertise, component overhaul capabilities, and potential modification approaches. Vendors must detail their ability to modify up to 12 UH-60M aircraft annually, with an estimated 30,000 touch labor hours per aircraft and anticipated material costs of $7.1 million per aircraft. The government emphasizes this is a market research exercise to evaluate industrial base capabilities and does not constitute a commitment to procurement, with responses being treated as informational only.

Preferred Partnership Type

Page Instructions: Please answer all questions on this tab. USG is very interested in your input into the partnership model that will be most effective given your capabilities and business structure.

Preferred Partnership Type

256	Why? (200 word maximum)
257	(Optional) What is your second preference?
258	(Optional) Why? (200 word maximum)

For reference, here are brief descriptions of each partnership type.

A. Prime-Sub Organization - as the Prime	A Prime-Subcontractor partnership as the prime is a contractual relationship where the Prime contractor holds the main agreement with the client and is responsible for overall project delivery. The Prime leads project execution, manages client communications, and ensures compliance with contract terms. Subcontractors are engaged by the Prime to perform specific tasks or provide specialized expertise. While the Prime oversees the entire project scope, subs operate under its direction and do not have a direct relationship with the end client.
B. Prime-Sub Organization - as a Subcontractor	A Prime-Subcontractor partnership as the subcontractor is a relationship where the Subcontractor supports the Prime contractor, who holds the main contract with the client.
