- Description
- Intent to Sole Source a Contract with Breeze Eastern LLC for Test Weight System P/N TE-120 The USPFO for Missouri Purchasing and Contracting Office, 7101 Military Circle, Jefferson City, MO 65101 intends to sole source a contract with Breeze Eastern LLC for Test Weight System P/N TE-120. Project Manager for UH-60 MEDEVAC under the direction of AMCOM identifies specific airframes to be upgraded through Aircraft Modifications Work Orders (MWO). These airframes are tracked by serial number and modified by Contract Field Teams at specified locations. Maintenance manuals from the manufacturer and Army Technical Manuals (TMs) may not be available prior to install. The Breeze Eastern Rescue Hoist is a new modification and Army TMs are still being drafted to incorporate this MWO. It is difficult to forecast all necessary support and maintenance equipment required to maintain this MWO. After review of manufacturer manuals and Army Draft manuals it was discovered that certain ground and in-flight calibrated load tests are required for the Breeze Eastern Rescue Hoist. Aircraft Modification Work Order 1-1520-237-50-108 External Stores Support System Mounted Rescue Hoist has recently been applied to aircraft 92-26428, 94-26576, and 90-26291 maintained by the SAAFA #1. The above modification must meet the requirements of Air Worthiness Release UH-60A/L 1763, TM 1-1520-237-10, and Breeze Eastern Flight Line Operation and Maintenance Manual. Ground and in-flight rated load tests of the Breeze Eastern Rescue Hoist are required to ensure the safe and successful operation of the aircraft. Hoisting weights of 300-600 pounds must be performed in flight at altitudes above 300 feet on a reoccurring basis throughout the life of the Breeze Eastern Recue Hoist. Risk mitigation must be implemented due to inherent danger of hoisting these weights while in flight. Proper equipment is a requirement for this task and the TE-120 is specifically designed by Breeze Eastern to be used. The TE-120 is the only calibrated weight system referenced in the maintenance manual and market research does not provide another option in regards to safety and compatibility. This contract will be awarded in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1(a)(2)(i)(A), when the supplies required by the agency are available from only one responsible source. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any party that believes it is capable of meeting this requirement may submit a written capability statement that clearly supports and demonstrates their ability to provide the part required. Capability statements must be received by the response date and time of this notice (see below). Submissions will be reviewed to determine if they can meet the requirements. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. This procurement is being conducted under negotiated procedures in accordance with FAR Part 12 and 15. Response Date: no later than 11:00 a.m. Central Time Zone on 7 September 2016. Email inquiries shall be submitted to CPT Paul Caldwell @ joseph.p.caldwell.mil@mail.mil.
