UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter

The State of Florida, through the Division of the Florida State Guard (FSG) under the Department of Military Affairs, is issuing an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) to establish a contract for the procurement of two (2) refurbished UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopters. The helicopters must have rebuilt Time Between Overhaul (TBO) components with at least 1,000 hours remaining TBO and be delivered to the Tallahassee Regional Airport prior to May 1, 2024. Responses to the ITN are due by March 25, 2024, and the Department intends to enter into a contract with the successful respondent. The ITN outlines detailed technical requirements for the helicopters, including performance capabilities, landing gear, fuel system, avionics, utility features, passenger accommodations, and emergency equipment. Respondents must provide information on the TBO hours remaining for key aircraft components, and the Department will evaluate and score the technical replies, conduct negotiations, and award the contract to the respondent that provides the best value.

The ITN does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Additionally, there is no information provided on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and no details on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The estimated expenditure for this contract is approximately $8,000,000.
