- Description
- The Aviation Applied Technology (AATD), U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center, Fort Eustis, Virginia, has a competitive requirement for the design, development, analysis, documentation, and fabrication of two (2) structural test articles and one (1) prototype shipset of the Lightweight Armament Support Structure (LASS) . The requirement includes optional production LASS shipsets with minimum quantity of 22 and maximum quantity of 32. The LASS will replace the Ex ternal Fuel System (EFS) stub wings on the MH-60L Integrated Defensive Armed Penetrator (IDAP). The goal of the program is to reduce weight on the fleet of MH-60L IDAP helicopters. Currently, the EFS stub wings provide the most likely source of significa nt weight reduction on the aircraft. The EFS are shortened, single-store-station versions of the External Stores Support Systems (ESSS), which were originally designed to support over 3200 pounds on the inboard stores station and almost 1700 pounds on the outboard stores station at the same time. Due to changes in mission and equipment over time, the EFS now does not support fuel at all and the heaviest load is expected to be less than 700 pounds. It is expected that a redesign of the EFS will result in a weight savings of 60-70% of the main support structure, equating to a savings of approximately 200 pounds per shipset. The specification document for this acquisition may be viewed at the following website: http://www.aatd.eustis.army.mil/Transfer/LASS_ Specification.doc. The successful offeror will be required to generate technical data whose export is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, USC., SEC 2751 ET SEQ). The procurement is 100% setaside for small business concerns. Award will b e a single firm-fixed-price contract with option (s). The non-recurring development/engineering base effort period of performance is 10 months. The anticipated optional production delivery schedule is up to 24 months after option exercise (based on 32 sh ipsets) with accelerated delivery desired. The anticipated award date is 4 November 2004. A solicitation will be issued on 15 July 2004 and the closing date will be on 26 August 2004. The applicable North American Industrial classification System (NIACS ) code is 336413 and the size standard is 1,000. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. Notes: 1 and 26 apply.
