About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the overhaul and upgrade of mechanical transmissions used in UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. As a Critical Safety Item under DFARS 209.270-2, the mechanical transmission overhaul requires approval from the Systems Readiness Directorate (SRD) prior to contract award, making source approval a mandatory qualification criterion. Interested contractors must submit responses by May 5, 2026, identifying their business size and socio-economic status along with complete company information and points of contact including telephone numbers and email addresses. A formal solicitation notice will be issued at a later date, and this pre-solicitation announcement is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment or Request for Proposal. The applicable NAICS code is 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and contractors are encouraged to pursue Source Approval Requests by contacting usarmy.redstone.ccdc-avmc.mbx.ed-sar@army.mil.

This procurement carries no set-aside designations and is open to all qualified sources. Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a large business, is currently the only known approved source for this requirement, though other contractors may seek approval status through the formal Source Approval Request process. The estimated quantity range is a minimum of 25 units to a maximum of 160 units, with the maximum figure including 25 units designated for Foreign Military Sales. Specific part numbers and National Stock Numbers are provided for both input and output mechanical transmission components, referencing the applicable technical specification DMWR 1-1615-372 (revision date 5/30/2018). While no award value is specified in this pre-solicitation notice, the combination of the estimated quantity range, the specialized nature of Critical Safety Item overhauls, and the requirement for SRD approval indicates a significant procurement opportunity for qualified contractors.
