U.S. Special Operations Command, Attn: AMSAM-AR-Z-A-K, Bldg 401, Lee Blvd., Fort Eustis, VA 23604-5577

16 -- OBIGGS FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRATION SOL USZA95-99-Q-0024 DUE 021899 POC Sharon R. Gayle E-MAIL: Contract Specialist, sgayle@tapo.eustis.army.mil. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Solicitation Number is USZA95-99-Q-0024 and issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). It is anticipated that is acquisition will be sole source to Robertson Aviation, 1024 East Vista Del Cerro, Tempe, AZ 85281, into the Robertson Auxiliary Fuel Tank Systems currently used in the MH-60K and MH-47E aircraft, HM020-185 and HM020-800. Robertson Aviation, LLC will design a method of connecting a flexible 3/8 inch pneumatic line with an AeroQuip 3900 series quick disconnect into the Robertson auxiliary fuel tanks. The same type quick disconnect fitting is being installed onto the MH-60K bulkhead and the MH-47E cargo overhead to mate with the flexible pneumatic line. The design will allow the appropriate amount of nitrogen enriched air to be inserted into the auxiliary fuel tanks from the Litton OBIGGS. Venting will allow the appropriate level of air to remain in the tanks during all normal pressure regimes while keeping oxygen levels at or below the OBIGGS specification. Direct coordination for technical information will be exchanged between Robertson Aviation, LLC, Litton Life Support Systems, and Raytheon Systems (SOFSA) for system pressures, hardware interfaces, and technical data. The design will not degrade the performance of current aircraft or Robertson auxiliary fuel systems. Any design considered must obtain the airworthiness approval of the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command. Two HM-020-185 and three HM-020-800 fuel tanks will be provided to Robertson Aviation as GFE. The contractor will modify the auxiliary fuel tanks, install the integration hardware, valves, AeroQuip 3900 series quick disconnects, and provide the pneumatic hoses of 3/8 inch internal diameter. All materials must be approved for aviation use and receive AMCOM approval prior to being utilized. Three hoses, 60 inches long, will be required for the MH-47E and two hoses, 36 inches long, will be provided for the MH-60K. Each hose will have the AeroQuip series 3900 quick disconnect to mate with the connector on the Robertson auxiliary fuel tank and the aircraft mounted connector to OBIGGS. The contractor will test both models of the Robertson fuel tanks with input pressures received from Litton Life Support systems. The tests are to ensure the venting is adequate in order to maintain adequate oxygen levels in the fuel tank ullage, from a full fuel level to an empty fuel level, and at all pressure altitudes currently required by the Robertson auxiliary tank specification. The contractor shall implement an ILS program that will ensure supportability of the design. The system quick disconnects will be accessible and functional for the flight and maintenance personnel from inside the aircraft with no special tools. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-10. Point of contact is Sharon Gayle, (757) 878-5223, X246.
