A -- T700 ENGINE COMPONENT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) SOL DAAH10-98-R-0009 DUE 093098 POC Ms. Vickie L. Jordan, (757) 878-2100 The Aviation Applied Technology Directorate (AATD), U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM), proposes to award a cost plus fixed fee contract, entitled "T700 Engine Component Improvement Program (CIP)" to GE Aircraft Engines, 1000 Western Avenue, Lynn, MA 01910. 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 T700 series engines, by contracting for a series of Engineering Program Notices (EPNs). GE Aircraft Engines is the designer, developer, and producer of the T700 engine. Because of their vast experience, engineering/technical expertise, propriety design rights, and design authority, GE Aircraft Engines is the only source capable of providing the required response to field and safety problems and component engineering and technical services in support of the fielded T700 series engines. The resultant contract will consist of an one (1) basic requirement and one (1) year option for additional Engineering Program Notices. The Government does not own, nor does it have access to a technical package to provide to offerors under a competitive acquisition. GE Aircraft 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 Posted 08/10/98 (W-SN234961).
