About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking potential vendors to overhaul the Transmission Assembly for UH-1N Helicopters, a critical flight safety component with the NSN 1615-01-061-6615GA and Part Number 212-040-001-111. Interested contractors must undergo a Source Approval Request (SAR) process and obtain prequalification from AFLCMC/WIUED's Rotary Wing Systems and Integrity Engineering Section. Qualification criteria include demonstrating comprehensive capabilities through detailed documentation, possessing AS9100 or ISO 9001 certification, maintaining 75% in-house workload, and having specialized tooling and test equipment. Potential bidders must submit their interest and capability documentation by May 19, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, with contact options including Jessica Cobb, Leigh Ann Taylor, and Rebekah Banks. The evaluation will focus on company capabilities, quality procedures, repair and overhaul plans, and proven experience with similar critical safety components.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this contract. Certain companies like Bell Helicopter Textron and Arista are automatically pre-qualified, and those with recent Bell authorized service center certifications may have an advantage. The qualification process involves a 45-day government review, potential conditional approval, a one-time First Article Test, and final pre-qualification status. While specific award values are not disclosed, the administrative cost for preparing the source approval request is estimated at $6,000, involving approximately 80 man-hours of labor. The transmission assembly is crucial for combat search and rescue operations in diverse and hostile environments, suggesting the procurement is for a mission-critical helicopter component. The primary government point of contact for this opportunity is Felton Corbett, a Rotary Wing Systems and Integrity Engineer at AFLCMC/WIUED.
