Helicopter Parts for Bell 212 Solicitation W912CL-19-Q-0004

Questions and Answers

Below is the submitted QUESTIONS from Industry about the Solicitation

Q1: Can you confirm The Airport destination code is MVD? Carrasco international airport in Montevideo?

A1: Yes, MVD.

Q2: We see you accept NEW and Overhaul condition components. Can you accept repaired condition? As long as the warranty covers the same timeline?

A2: As long as the repaired condition comes with a warranty the same as a new or overhauled part, TTO is in line with the original timeline, the time remaining is still within the window, and there are no new restrictions on the use of the repaired part (i.e. one use, ‘not to be overhauled’ on items that could normally be overhauled, etc.) then it will be fine.

Q3: Is there a limitation on how long was the repair or overhaul?

A3: How long ago? As long as the inspections are current and the part is certified to be in operable condition, in accordance with the requirements, and doesn’t require additional servicing, then no. The TTO remaining is the real factor that we have to maintain.

Q4: Can you accept PN variations? There have been upgrades to some components.

FAA Approved STC on a component.

A4: That is part dependent and I can’t give a blanket response. If newer parts are out there and they fit perfectly, then it will be fine. However, the aircraft that are being repaired will have to be checked to ensure that a newer part (new PN) will fit correctly and serve the same function without impacting other areas of the aircraft. That will have to be done on an individual basis.

Q5: Manufacture’s Warranty: can this been an authorized overhaul facility warranty or does it have to be the original manufacture?

A5: Please refer to A2.
