A -- MH-47E STRUCTURAL USAGE MONITOR SYSTEM SOL DAAJ05-95-R-0010 DUE 072495 POC Diana J. Rondinelli, Contract Specialist, 804-878-3315/Linda O'Dell, Contracting Officer, 804-878-3064. Contract negotiations will be held with Boeing Helicopters, P.O. Box 16858, Philadelphia, PA 19142-0859, for a program to develop, verify, and demonstrate a structural usage monitor system for the MH-47E aircraft. The Government does not own a technical data package sufficient to fully compete this effort. In addition to the fact that Boeing is the prime developer of the MH-47E airframe, their unique qualifications for fulfilling the Government's requirements are based on their requisite knowledge in the following areas regarding the MH-47E: MIL-STD-1553B data bus design and performance, component fatigue calculations, critical flight regimes, and an understanding of the relationship between critical flight regimes and monitored parameters to allow efficient development of regime recognition algorithms. It is anticipated that the period of performance for the program will be thirty-six (36) months. The solicitation is releasable to U.S. firms only. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered. Anticipated release date is May 24, 1995. Requests for this solicitation may be forwarded in writing or by facsimile machine, 804-878-0089. See Numbered Note(s): 8, 22. (0128)
