- Description
- AMCOM proposes to procure a number of AH-64 components required to incorporate Reliability and Safety (R&S) modifications/upgrades into the Apache program, including parts required to provide logistics support of the aircraft, from the manufacturer McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company (MDHC), an indirect subsidiary of The Boeing Company. The nature of this contractual action is a sole source, firm fixed price contract with MDHC. MDHC is the only responsible source capable of providing components required to incorporate the reliability and safety improvements into the existing D model and remaining A model aircraft. MDHC is responsible for the configuration baseline of the AH-64 hardware and associated equipment. As the total system integrator for the Apache, MDHC must determine the interface/performance requirements for these components in order to ensure required system performance. A technical data package (TDP) has not been acquired. The data obtained thus far by the Government is insufficient to allow another source to perform this effort without risking significant delays and without the Government assuming tremendous risk as to the validity of the available data. The components to be procured will support the following reliability and safety modifications/retrofits to cover AH-64 A and D Models: Main Transmission Overhaul; Emergency Hydraulics; Hydraulic Sampling; Auxiliary Power Unit Power Take Off (APU PTO) Clutch; Main Rotor Overhaul; Replacing Cracked Wing Pylon and Installation of Load sharing Ties; Bushings, Bearings and Hoses; Searchlights; Gun Turret Overhaul; Engine Nose Gearbox Assembly; Exhaust Suppressor Primary and Secondary Nozzles; Tail Rotor gearbox Overhaul; Primary Nozzle Marman Clamp; APR-39 Water Intrusion; and Intermediate gearbox Overhaul. See Note 22.
