- Description
- This is a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. There is no solicitation package available. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst is seeking Small Business sources that may be capable of producing a New Blade Restraint System (NGBRS), which is used to restrain the blades on the H-60 Helicopters, both land based and shipboard, during winds up to 100 miles per hour. This requirement is currently satisfied by P/N 70700-77515-043, which was originally designed by Sikorsky Aircraft. The United States Navy is investigating the feasibility of procuring a new Blade Restraint System (BRS) with the following improved characteristics: 1) Minimize total weight of a new BRS. 2) Increase Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) to minimize logistical support and repair. 3) 99% level of availability is desired for the new BRS. Availability is defined by MTBF/ (MTBF+Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)). A goal of 5 minutes maximum installation time is desired with two people installing unit. New BRS should be designed to minimize or eliminate susceptibility to corrosion in a salt environment. Simple design with few parts. The Government is looking for potential sources for this requirement. All interested parties should send company?s capability and/or descriptive literature, as well as any comments or questions to Nancy Delaney, e-mail: Nancy.Delaney@navy.mil, fax: (732) 323-2359 or address: Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Contracts, Code 25221ND, B562-3, Hwy 547, Lakehurst, NJ 08733-5082.
