About this program
The MH-139A Grey Wolf is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) designated as Acquisition Category IB that operates under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. This program represents the U.S. Air Force's initiative to replace its aging fleet of UH-1N utility helicopters with modern aircraft systems. The program's cornerstone is a $2.96 billion contract for the UH-1N Replacement Helicopter System, which aims to address capability gaps and provide sustainable helicopter platforms for various Air Force command requirements.
The program encompasses multiple contract vehicles ranging from $225,000 to nearly $3 billion, with performance periods typically extending between 2023 and 2029. The Boeing Company serves as the primary aircraft system contractor under a $2.96 billion definitive contract, while supporting contracts have been awarded to various firms including Amentum Services Inc. ($62.2 million for IPODS system transition), Priority 1 Air Rescue Operations ($5.27 million for helicopter training), Bell Textron Inc. ($225,000 for helicopter system upgrades), and Pinnacle Solutions LLC ($652,911 for CFSR program support). The U.S. Air Force and Army serve as the primary contracting agencies, with work performed across multiple locations including Shreveport, Louisiana and Huntsville, Alabama. Notably, none of the reviewed contracts utilized set-aside designations, and firm-fixed-price arrangements were consistently employed as the preferred pricing structure.
