About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center located at Robins Air Force Base is seeking engineering support services for the United States Air Force's TH-1H and UH-1N helicopter platforms. The contractor shall provide technical expertise, access to original equipment manufacturer proprietary data, and analysis techniques to adequately maintain operational safety, suitability, and effectiveness for the H-1 helicopter platform. Responses from interested contractors are due by March 26, 2021 and should include business information and responses addressing relevant experience, engineering services, technical data generation, and approaches to addressing gaps in proprietary information.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. Sole source award to Bell Helicopter is anticipated due to lack of proprietary data and engineering expertise among other sources. The pre-solicitation market research is being conducted without reimbursement to participants. The support services have no defined period of performance or value listed, but are to provide ongoing technical assistance for maintaining the H-1 helicopter fleet.
