ITEM DESCRIPTION: The CTS is a servo used in the mechanical interface assembly for the AHHS system on the HH-60G. During flight with the Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) TRIM switch ON, the pilot or copilot, with the collective TRIM RELEASE depressed is able to move the collective stick to the desired position. Upon release of the trigger the collective position will be maintained by the CTS. This effectively allows the AHHS system to perform an altitude hold. The trim will provide a force gradient, resisting movement of the collective away from the set position.

The Government does not own any data, drawings, schematics, or any other releasable technical data in support of this requirement. As a result, Kearfott is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the Collective Trim Servo performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to produce this item and ensure compatibility of the equipment. INTEREST: The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Kearfott for the manufacture of the NSN listed above for the Collective Trim Servo in support of the HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 27 October 2015 to Rhonda Hurst via email to rhonda.hurst@us.af.mil or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil.
