- Sources Sought Template (Request for Interested Manufacturers) FROM: Rodney W. Mathis/411 SCMS/GULAB TO: DLA Aviation Procurement Operations at Warner Robins (SPRWA1) LOCATION: Robins AFB, GA 31098-1813 FBO Post Title: Request for Interested Manufacturers of the internal rescue hoists, P/N 42305-3, NSN 1730-01-474-1646GA. SUBJECT: Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of the internal rescue hoists, P/N 42305-3, NSN 1730-01-474-1646GA. ITEM DESCRIPTION The UH-1N is a utility helicopter that is used by the Air Force for missile site surveillance, nuclear convoy protection and Special Operation Forces (SOF)/Search and Rescue Personnel Recovery missions. All the parts of a UH-1N, except the fuselage, can be replaced making the end of life of the UH-1N indefinite. Rescue hoist Model 42305-3 is an upgraded Model -1, internally mounted, electrically powered hoist that utilizes an industry-unique translating drum cable management system with patented cable tension and Weston braking systems. Translating drum technology allows for unlimited fleet angle and duty cycle. The lubricated cable management system extends cable life and resists corrosion on internal metal components. Impediment to Competition: The original equipment manufacturer for this item is Goodrich (CAGE 3HRL4), which maintains its configuration by part number. The Government does not own any data, drawings, schematics, or any other releasable technical data in support of this requirement. As a result, Goodrich is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the internal rescue hoist 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 Bell Helicopter for the manufacture of the Transmission Case Assembly in support of the UH-1N helicopter program. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 21 September 2016, by emailing Rodney W. Mathis at rodney.mathis@us.af.mil and/or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil. The Government intends to procure these items using Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
