A -- RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT -- T55 ENGINE COMPONENT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM SOL DAAH10-98-R-0001 DUE 121997 POC Vickie L. Jordan, Contract Specialist, (757) 878-2100 E-MAIL: AATD, vjordan@eustis-aatds1.army.mil. TITLE: T55 Engine Component Improvement Program SOL DAAH10-98-R-0001 The Aviation Applied Technology Directorate (AATD), U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM), proposes to award a cost plus fixed fee contract, entitled "T55 Engine Component Improvement Program" to AlliedSignal Engines, Inc. The purpose of this program is to maintain and/or improve the operational readiness, safety, reliability, maintainability, durability, and mission effectiveness while reducing procurement and operating and support costs for the U.S. Army T55 series engines, by contracting for a series of Engineering Program Notices (EPNs). AlliedSignal Engines is now the design authority and prime manufacturer of the T55 series engine and their supporting equipment. Because of their vast experience, engineering/technical expertise, proprietary design rights, and design authority, AlliedSignal Engines, Inc. is the only source capable of providing the required response to field and safety problems and competent engineering and technical services in support of the fielded T55 series engines. The Government does not own, nor does it have access to a technical package to provide to offerors under a competitive acquisition. AlliedSignal Engines is the only available source; however, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. Performance under this solicitation will require "Export Controlled DoD Technical Data Agreement" certification required for all offerors under this announcement. Requests for this solicitation must be submitted in writing to the above address. Requests received by other means will not be honored. See Numbered Note(s): 8, 22, 26. (0293)
