16 -- SKI KITS FOR MODEL A BLACKHAWK HELICOPTOR (UH-60A) SOL DAHA48-99-Q-0001 DUE 120398 POC Contracting Officer, Dane Johnson, (307) 772-5284 E-MAIL: USPFO for Wyoming, Purchasing and Contracting, Dane, johnsond@wy-iso.army.mil. The Wyoming Army National Guard 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 Skiorsky produced, Blackhawk UH-60A Helicopter from Airglas Engineering Company, Incorporated of Anchorage, Alaska. This ski kit consists of the right ski, left 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 Missle 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 that the Government does not possess complete, unrestrictive technical data, or the rights to use such data, to permit full and open competition. FOB Anchorage, Alaska. Delivery must be made to the 1022nd Medical Company, Cheyenne, Wyoming, within 180 days after receipt of the order. All responsible sources are encouraged to submit information, which clearly demonstrates their ability to provide this item, to include specifications and FAA certification of airworthiness, NLT ten (10) days from the date of this notice.
