About this opportunity
Greenville County, South Carolina is seeking sealed bids for the sale of a 1969 Bell UH-1H "Huey" helicopter through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #25048. The helicopter, previously used by the Greenville County Sheriff's Office, is a Vietnam Era airframe that was last flown on August 22, 2022, and underwent its most recent annual inspection on May 12, 2022. The vehicle comes with a Honeywell T53-L-13B engine with 749 hours since new, a transmission with 4,842 total hours, and main rotor blades with 970 hours. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for January 14, 2025, at 10:00 am at the Greenville Downtown Airport, where potential buyers can inspect the helicopter. Electronic bids are due by January 31, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with the county anticipating contract award on February 5, 2025. The bidding will commence with a minimum starting price of $150,000, and no offers will be accepted below this threshold. Potential bidders are required to submit a Letter of Offer that includes a brief description of themselves or their company and their intended payment method.
There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions noted for this procurement. The county will consider tie bids by initiating discussions with the first responder who submitted the highest bid. The winning bidder will be required to submit payment within 10 days of award notification. While the original dataplate was removed prior to county delivery, additional parts in the county's inventory specifically for the Huey may be included with the purchase. The comprehensive maintenance documentation provided with the sale includes detailed component historical records, engine logs, airworthiness directives, and photographic documentation of the helicopter's condition. The extensive maintenance records demonstrate the aircraft has been carefully maintained, with meticulous tracking of component life cycles, installations, and compliance with military and aviation maintenance standards. The potential award value is set at a minimum of $150,000, with the actual final price dependent on competitive bidding.
