About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Futures Command, specifically the Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC) Prototype Integration Facility at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is conducting market research to upgrade the Variable-Geometry, Radial Outflow Compressor (VAROC) Air Dynamometer 250 for integration into the Flexible Engine Diagnostics Systems (FEDS) for Chinook T55-GA-714A engines. The primary objective is to identify capable sources with access to proprietary data necessary for this technical upgrade. Interested businesses must submit an unclassified capability statement by May 9, 2025, addressing their small/large business status, company profile, and ability to perform at least 50% of the work. Evaluation criteria will focus on demonstrating possession of or a viable plan to obtain the required proprietary data from Concepts, NREC, the current Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Potential offerors must submit their responses directly to Leighton Bragg or Al Condino via email, with no telephone inquiries accepted.
Currently, the procurement has no specific set-aside designation, though the government is considering potential small business set-asides depending on market research results. Concepts, NREC is currently the only known source with the necessary proprietary technical data, which may significantly influence the procurement strategy. The notice indicates this is a pre-solicitation research phase, and any subsequent solicitation will be published on SAM.Gov. The project involves developing a V250+ Dynamometer prototype, including tasks such as producing a forged rotor billet, inner housing assembly, lubrication cart prototype, and associated Non-Recurring Engineering activities. While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement will be centered on technical capability, proprietary data access, and the ability to integrate the dynamometer into the Flexible Engine Diagnostics Systems for military aircraft engine testing.
