ITEM DESCRIPTION The subject accumulators are used on the C-5 Galaxy aircraft which is a military transport aircraft. Both items are hydraulic accumulator that utilize compressed dry nitrogen and a floating piston to help absorb pressure shocks and decrease the effects of drag induced by the long network of the hydraulic tubing system. There are two 100 cubic inch accumulator used per aircraft, and they are located in the left hand side of the forward main landing gear hydraulic systems. There is one 400 cubic inch accumulator used per aircraft, and it is located in the right hand side of the nose wheel well hydraulic system. Both items are critical application items that are essential to weapon system performance and operation. Impediment to Competition: The original equipment manufacturer for this item is Parker-Hannifin Corporation (CAGE 59211), which maintains its proprietary manufacturing data for these items. The Government does not own a complete manufacturing data package to release to potential vendors in support of this requirement. As a result, Parker-Hannifin Corporation is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the accumulators' performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to produce these items and ensure compatibility of the equipment. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Parker-Hannifin Corporation for the production of the subject accumulators in support of the C-5 Galaxy aircraft. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 19 June 2018 by emailing Janet Butcher at janet.butcher@us.af.mil and/or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil.
