Swashplate Actuator and Falperon/Elevator Actuator Test Stands

This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP), a Request for Quotation, or Invitation for Bids. There is currently no solicitation package available.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst is seeking sources that may be capable of producing and installing at the Fleet Reserve Center East (FRC-E), Cherry Point NC, two hydraulic Test Stands (TSs) for the V-22 Program; quantity one Swashplate Actuator TS and quantity one Falperon/Elevator Actuator TS. The Swashplate Actuator and the Flaperon/Elevator Actuator TSs have been identified to fulfill a requirement to complete acceptance tests on the Swashplate (C30840-001), Flaperon (C29215-001), and Elevator (C29855-001) servo actuator assemblies of the V-22 Aircraft as part of depot repair and overhaul.

The Government-owned system currently in use for V-22 Swashplate, Flaperon, and Elevator actuator testing is located at Moog, Inc., Aurora, New York, the original equipment manufacturer for the swashplate actuator and flaperon/elevator actuator test stands. The TSs include mechanical test fixtures, with hydraulic pump systems and electronic test consoles. The TSs / test fixtures located at Moog's facility are the only TSs / fixtures to certify these actuators as Ready For Issue (RFI). To assure standardized application of acceptance test procedures and consistent test results across both Moog and FRC-E sites, the additional TSs must be fully compatible in form, fit and function with the existing Government owned TSs currently installed at Moog. The Government does not own a data package to provide for these TSs.

All corporate and proprietary information should be so marked and will be fully protected to the extent allowed. This RFI is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as an RFP or as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any follow-on acquisitions. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI or otherwise pay for the information solicited. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of submission of responses to this RFI and Government use of such information. This RFI does not constitute the solicitation of proposals. Responders to this RFI may be requested to provide additional details/information based on their initial submittals.
