The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to negotiate a sole source delivery order with Chadwick-Helmuth, a business unit of Honeywell International, Inc., El Monte, CA 91731-1211, for the acquisition of eighteen (18) Vibration Analyzers for use with E-2 and C-2 aircraft equipped with NP2000 propeller systems, with an option for an additional seven (7) units. Based on the results of an industry-wide market survey performed by Hamilton Sundstrand, the manufacturer of the NP2000 propeller, the Chadwick Helmuth vibration analyzer emerged as the only vibration analyzer that met all of the Government’s technical and delivery requirements. The purpose of the vibration analyzer is to achieve and maintain installed performance vibration tolerances and to achieve reduction in USN organizational level maintenance and Aviation Depot Level Repair (AVDLR) cost of the E-2 and C-2 propeller systems. Chadwick-Helmuth is the designer, developer, and sole manufacturer of the selected vibration analyzer for the NP2000 propellers and is the only source that can provide these vibration analyzers to meet USN and FMS requirements within the time required.
