O'Dell, Contracting Officer, (757) 878-3064. The Aviation Applied Technology Directorate (AATD), U.S. Army Aviation and Troop Command (ATCOM), proposes to award a delivery order entitled "Advanced Maintenance Aid Concepts (AMAC) Demonstration", to existing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) DAAJ09- 95-G-0018. The objective of the program is to design, develop, and demonstrate a prototype advanced maintenance aid that specifies removal of components only when deemed unserviceable and specifies conduct of component inspections within a flexible maintenance schedule. The intent of AMAC is to stimulate cost-effective flight-line maintenance support for the CH-47D helicopter. The intended source for this acquisition is Boeing Defense & Space Group, Helicopters Division. As the sole developer and only source of engineering, maintenance and training support for the CH-47D, author of associated troubleshooting procedures, algorithms, and technical manuals, Boeing is considered to be the sole contractor capable of providing the technical expertise required for this effort. The proposed effort requires this specific knowledge and experience due to the nature of the AMAC demonstration. Boeing Helicopters is the only known qualified source for this acquisition, however, all responsible sources may identify thier interest, capability, and/or submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. Requests for this solicitation must be submitted in writing to the above address. Requests submitted by other means will not be considered. See Numbered Note(s): 22, 26. (0008)
