COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF SEPTEMBER 14,1998 PSA#2179USPFO for South Dakota, 2823 W Main, Rapid City, SD 57702-8186 16 -- SKI KITS FOR MODEL A BLACKHAWK HELICOPTER (UH-60A) POC CPT
Donald P. Hollis, 605/399-6664 The South Dakota Army National Guard
(SDARNG) intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under
the authority of the test program for Commercial Items (Section 4202 of
the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996) to acquire three (3) Ski Kits (L20500R)
for the Sikorsky produced Blackhawk UH-60A Helicopter from Airglas
Engineering Company, Incorporated of Anchorage, Alaska. This ski kit
consists of the right ski (modified for external rescue hoist), left
main ski, the tail ski and all attaching hardware. The UH-60A's
conventional wheeled landing gear provides insufficient weight
distribution and little or no resistance to sinking in snow
accumulations or muddy fields with standing water. Airglas Engineering
Company is the patent holder and the sole developer/ manufacturer of
the skis that will satisfy this requirement. U.S. Army Aviation and
Missile Command (USAAMCOM) has previously issued an Airworthiness
Release for the attachment of the Airglas Skis to the Blackhawk UH-60A
aircraft. This release is required for each aircraft to be outfitted
with the Airglas L20500R, Ski Kit. This proposed procurement action is
for supplies for which the Government does not possess complete,
unrestrictive technical data, or the rights to use such data, to permit
full and open competition. Delivery must be made to SD Army Aviation
Support Facility, 4750 Guard Road, Rapid City, SD 57701-8708, within
180 calendar days after receipt of the order. All responsible sources
are encouraged to submit information which clearly demonstrates their
ability to provide this item. The anticipated award date will be 10
calendar days from the date of this notice. Posted 09/10/98
