About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking potential sources for overhauling four critical UH-1N helicopter dynamic components: Swashplate, Rotor Head, Rotor Mast, and Rotor Hub, all originally manufactured by Bell Helicopter. This Sources Sought Synopsis requires potential bidders to be either Bell-certified or an Air Force qualified repair source, with alternative vendors needing to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) and receive approval from AFLCMC/WIUED. Key qualification requirements include performing at least 75% of repair work in-house, implementing AS9100 or ISO 9001 quality standards, providing detailed factory layouts and machinery lists, and demonstrating prior experience with similar helicopter components. The government intends to use Source Selection procedures per FAR 6.102 for a competitive contract award. Interested parties must submit their capabilities and interest information by July 28, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. EDT to jessica.cobb.3@us.af.mil.
This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified sources. While specific incumbent contractors are not identified in the documentation, Bell Helicopter appears to be the original equipment manufacturer with existing certified repair sources potentially pre-qualified for the work. The estimated cost for preparing a Source Approval Request package is $6,000 per part for vendors seeking qualification. The government will conduct an initial review of submissions within 45 working days, followed by a final qualification response within 180 days. These components are classified as Critical Safety Items, emphasizing the strict qualification standards and technical requirements that potential contractors must meet. The procurement is associated with Solicitation Number FA8524-26-00025 and falls under NAICS code 336411 for Aircraft Manufacturing.
