For questions regarding this RFI, please contact the Government contracting POC, Mr. Ronald McCall, via email at [email protected].
The Government seeks potential sources having experience in the investigation, analysis and reporting of Root Cause Failure Modes for Auxiliary Power Units and associated components [APU models- Honeywell GTCP36-55[H], GTCP36-150[BH], & Hamilton Sundstrand (desired) T62T-2B, T62T-40-1] and Honeywell (desired) T53 Engines] used on H-64, H-60 and H-47 US Army Rotorcraft. The Government requests information on the potential source's knowledge, skill and experiences in determining the Root Cause Failure Modes for these Auxiliary Power Units, associated components and similar systems. This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued pursuant to FAR 15.2. The US Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) Redstone Arsenal, AL, on behalf of the U S Army, desires to obtain information to serve as a market survey to aid in development and procurement strategy for acquisition maintenance for APU models- Honeywell GTCP36-55[H], GTCP36-150[BH], & Hamilton Sundstrand (desired) T62T-2B, T62T-40-1] and Honeywell (desired) T53 Engines or similar APU systems and associated components used on H-64, H-60 and H-47 US Army Rotorcraft. No award is intended as a result of this sources sought notice nor does the Government intend to pay for information received. Responses to this notice are not an offer and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.
The AMRDEC has the mission to support the airworthiness function in US Army Aviation weapon system. Engineering Investigations are essential to the identification of unique failure modes which may cause reduced ability to perform mission, loss of lives and weapon system. This information is used in Risk assessment for determining impact to weapons system and what need to be done to return the weapons system to the proper airworthiness state. In order to maintain the performance of this system, the Government seeks to identify companies that have capabilities to perform analysis of the Auxiliary Power Units and associated components used in the H-64, H-60 and H-47 US Army Rotorcraft.
The purpose of this RFI is to gather information about the capabilities of performing Root Cause analysis of potential offerors in the area of engineering investigation of Army Rotorcraft Auxiliary Power Units and associated Components used on H-64, H-60 and H-47 US Army Rotorcraft. Specifically, offerors need to address the following: (1) Thorough knowledge of the APU models- Honeywell GTCP36-55[H], GTCP36-150[BH], & Hamilton Sundstrand (desired) T62T-2B, T62T-40-1] and Honeywell (desired) T53 Engines or similar APU systems and associated components used in US Army Rotorcrafts function; (2) Ability to perform engineering analysis on APU models- Honeywell GTCP36-55[H], GTCP36-150[BH], & Hamilton Sundstrand (desired) T62T-2B, T62T-40-1] and Honeywell (desired) T53 Engines and associated components; (3) Posses the legal authority to use proprietary technical data from APU models- Honeywell GTCP36-55[H], GTCP36-150[BH], & Hamilton Sundstrand (desired) T62T-2B, T62T-40-1] and Honeywell (desired) T53 Engines and associated components.
As previously stated, the purpose of this RFI is to gather information about the ability to perform engineering analysis for Root Cause Failure Modes on Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) and associated components used in US ARMY Rotorcraft. Responses: To assist in market research associated with the determination of Root Cause Failure Modes of Auxiliary Power Units and associated components, specifically the Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) and associated components [APU models- Honeywell GTCP36-55[H], GTCP36-[BH], & Hamilton Sundstrand (desired) T62T-2B, T62T-40-1] and Honeywell (desired) T53 Engines. The Government is requesting information from industry. Interested parties should submit white papers not to exceed 15 pages and no smaller than 12 pt. Times New Roman font. The white paper should include the following information: (1) tailored capability statements addressing the particulars of this effort (2) any additional materials that are deemed appropriate by the respondent. The objective of this process is to assess potential offerors capable of achieving the stated objectives.
