UH-60M Black Hawk Capabilities Walk-Around

OVERVIEW

The H-60M Black Hawk serves as the Army’s medium-lift helicopter supporting air assault, aeromedical evacuation, and special operation units. The H-60 has multi-mission capabilities used to perform tactical transport, utility, search and rescue, airborne assault, command and control, medical evacuation, aerial resupply, disaster relief, and firefighting missions.

CAPABILITIES

The H-60M 22,500 lbs. helicopter carries a payload of 11 troops, a cargo hook capacity of 9,000 lbs., max speed of 151 kts (174 mph), and a max cruise range of 275 nautical miles.

LTC Aaron Kia Product Manager, Recapitalization Statement of Work Overview and Q&A

Notes view: 6

Objective: To identify and assess commercial solutions to modernize and sustain the fielded UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter fleet and support Army Aviation transformation at scale.

Strategic Goal: Leverage commercial capabilities and investments to improve aircraft performance, increase fleet readiness, and stabilize the industrial base.

Key Drivers:

Manufacturing Capability: Ensuring the industrial base can deliver a conforming product Supply Chain Resilience: Mitigating risks associated with parts availability and obsolescence Affordability: Seeking cost-effective solutions to perform modifications at scale while reducing the total lifecycle costs Program Vision: To create a stable, long-term industrial partnership that can consistently deliver mission-ready aircraft back to the fleet, ensuring operational dominance for decades to come.

Program Overview

Notes view: 7

Solely for market research to inform government acquisition strategy The Government has not determined the final acquisition approach, and a contract will not be awarded on the basis of this RFI Information will not be used for subsequent evaluation or source selection

The statement of work represents a draft requirement to assess industry capabilities The brevity of the SOW and Response Template reflect the level of detail requested in responses The Government is not prescribing solutions but rather is seeking insight into what is achievable Capabilities, partnership preferences, and views on risks and opportunities The Government is interested in feedback from system and component-level vendors

General approach to RFI response:

Benchmark responses with current capabilities or recommended solution for meeting the requirement Emphasize critical risks and opportunities that have the greatest impact on a successful program Request for Information Overview

Out-of-scope Evaluation criteria and performance metrics Contracting vehicles and timelines Modernization gaps/priorities/solutions

Questions regarding Statement of Work / Scope

Direct and indirect engineering support functions Deviation/Discrepancy reconciliation Configuration Authority Material Review Board Quality Assurance / Quality Control standards and oversight (AS9100, DCMA) Training certification (A&P) Airworthiness (FAA vs AWR) Innovation Opportunities (automation, digital engineering) Detailed requirements are undefined at this time

Respond with current capabilities and/or recommended solution to meet the requirement

Characterize major differences between current and estimated requirements as a risk or opportunity

Example: Describe your Quality Management System

The vendor should reply with current quality certification (i.e. ISO 9001, AS 9100, etc) If you identify quality certification standards as a critical risk, consider highlighting it in the Risk Assessment tab Highlight the effort required to meet higher quality certification standards Highlight the opportunity of delivering a conforming product at recommended quality certification standard

Examples:

- AS9100

- Dynamic Component Sources of Supply Notes view: 10

Questions regarding Statement of Work / Scope

Logs and Records Weight and Balance Induction schedules Facilities and Transportation Component replacement (overhaul, GFE, or CFE) Component overhaul standard (zero-time) Supply chain disruptions, obsolescence, parts availability Long-lead or high-value strategic spares Detailed requirements are undefined at this time

Respond with current capabilities and/or recommended solution to meet the requirement

Characterize major differences between current and estimated requirements as a risk or opportunity

Example: Component Repairs and Overhaul – contractor shall overhaul / zero-time the components

The vendor should reply with how they plan on accomplishing the requirement Does the vendor currently have the capability to conduct the repair / overhaul in-house?

Does the vendor prefer to partner with industry to outsource the overhaul (i.e. CFE)?

Does the vendor prefer sourcing the component from the Government (i.e. GFE)?

If you identify component repair, overhaul, or sourcing as a critical risk, consider highlighting it in the Risk Assessment tab.

Examples:

- AS9100

- Dynamic Component Sources of Supply Notes view: 11

LTC Aaron Kia Product Manager, Recapitalization Response Template and Q&A

Notes view: 13

The excel template is required for each response (use the version marked “Final”) Responses should be formatted for relevance and brevity Supplemental information may be submitted as a secondary document Respondents may include a cover sheet to assert data rights [YELLOW] – Baseline Information Covers organizational, technical, and financial topics Identify major risks that could threaten program success [GREEN] – Partnership Preferences Highlight vendor preferences and past experience with these partnership models May respond to more than one partnership model RFI Response Workbook

Questions regarding Response format/template

How will data be used?

How will data be protected? Assert appropriate data rights using a cover sheet USG will comply with DODI 5230.24 to protect proprietary information Data will inform the Government’s Acquisition Strategy Cost Analysis:

Range vs Point estimates Labor category definitions Point estimate for composite labor rate Project support staff and supervisors of direct/touch employees should be included in program management Number of employees refer to Full Time Equivalent (FTE) that would support the program Cost assumptions: 30,000 direct labor hours, $7.1M material costs per A/C Facilities Multiple Location/Facilities Aircraft Bay definition Report three most suitable facilities where the bulk of aircraft activities will occur; cumulative summary of multiple facilities in a single location is acceptable An A/C bay is a dedicated space/position for performing work on a single aircraft
