THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. It is a market research tool being used to determine potential and eligible businesses capable of providing the supplies/services described herein prior to determining the method of acquisition and issuance of a Request for Proposal. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this announcement. DISCLAIMER THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. PROGRAM BACKGROUND Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC) used competition to establish GE as the CH-53K engine supplier as part of the initial System Development and Demonstration (SDD) contract. In 2012, the Government broke out the procurement of the CH-53K T408 engines for the System Development Test Article aircraft as a separate contract from the aircraft development contract in order to avoid delays in the CH-53K Aircraft production schedule. The CH-53K Helicopter is powered by the T408 engine and incorporates proven technology designed and developed by GE from the T64-GE-416/416A/419 engines, which power the Navy and Marine Corps' legacy variants of the H-53, and other GE engines. The T408 uses increased compressor efficiency, erosion resistant coatings, increased airflow, higher turbine temperatures and efficiency, and design techniques to achieve the increased shaft horse power necessary to meet the increased tactical range, payload, and survivability of the CH-53K Helicopter. ELIGIBILITY The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 336412 with a Small Business Size Standard of 1,000. The Product Service Code (PSC) is 2850. ANTICPATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE Assume an earliest contract award date of January 2019. Fifty-one (51) fully qualified engines are to be delivered in accordance with the contracted schedule. The first engine will be required NLT 14 AUG 2020. Seventeen (17) additional engines will be required in accordance with the aircraft build schedule (TBD) with the last engine NLT 31 JAN 2023. ANTICIPATED CONTRACT TYPE Fixed-price contract types are anticipated. REQUIRED CAPABILITIES The CH-53K Air Vehicle is a three (3) engine aircraft, which the Marine Corps will employ to transport cargo, equipment and troops, and in amphibious assault and subsequent operations ashore. The CH-53K Air Vehicle will operate at distances, airspeeds, and gross weights that support Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare (EMW), Operational Maneuver from the Sea (OMFTS), and Sea basing concepts. When equipped with approved kits, the helicopter may be used for vertical on-board delivery of cargo and equipment from ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore, and shore-to-ship. The helicopter will be equipped to be operationally compatible with the LHA, LHD, LHA(R)), air capable ships, and CV/CVN vessels. CH-53K engines must meet or exceed minimum Key Performance Parameter thresholds as established by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) to achieve greater range than the CH-53E. Characteristics include but are not limited to: a. 27,000 lbs payload b. 5% increase in fuel consumption c. A level flight airspeed, using maximum continuous engine power available, of not less than 150 KTAS for maximum internal load Take-Off Gross Weight (TOGW). d. At the TOGW for the 110 nm SOA / External Lift mission with a 24,000 lbs / 56 ft 2 load, the HLR shall have a level flight airspeed, using maximum continuous engine power available, of not less than 130 KTAS. e. At the maximum external gross weight (GW), with a 29,200 lbs / 56 ft2 external load, the HLR shall have a level flight airspeed, using maximum continuous engine power available, of not less than 110 KTAS. The CH-53K engines shall also be designed to operate in the environments defined below without sustaining damage or degradation: a. Temperature: -40ºC (-40ºF) to +50ºC (+122ºF). Temperature at altitude shall be based on 1% b. Temperature, with a -40°C (-40°F) surface temperature minimum limit for cold day. c. Humidity: 0-100% RH, including conditions where moisture condenses on the component. d. Shipboard environment: Sulfur and nitrogen oxide containing gasses from ship stacks and aircraft exhaust combined with 3.5% sodium chloride sea spray to form highly acidic moisture films of pH 2.4 - 3.2 e. Rain: 8-inches per hour operational up to 100 kts forward flight speed and 1-inch per hour for maintenance/servicing. Rain exposure for 30 minutes for both cases. f. Salt spray: Components of the aircraft shall not degrade after exposure to a 5% by weight salt fog solution for the life of the part.
