    Description

    The Department of the Army seeks to repair the Blackhawk UH-60 A/L Intercommunications System (ICS), C-11746, through a 10-year IDIQ contract. The goal is to identify potential vendors for this work, as the previous source for repairs is no longer available. This market survey is not a commitment to award a contract but helps the Army assess the market and determine the acquisition strategy.

    The scope of work involves repairing/overhauling an estimated 51 ICS units. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to test, validate failures, and repair the units, ensuring they are physically and functionally interchangeable with new ones. The repaired systems must obtain airworthiness certification and perform satisfactorily in Army operations.

    Vendors interested in this opportunity should provide a brief summary of their company and its core competencies. They should also highlight their past performance in manufacturing or servicing similar items, along with details of their engineering staff's qualifications and experience. Additionally, the Army wants to know about the vendor's experience in managing obsolescence issues and their capability to meet US government contracting delivery requirements.

    All responses to this market survey are due by August 9, 2024 and should be emailed to the designated technical and contracting officer points of contact.

    The Army encourages businesses to respond, as this survey assists in determining the potential for a small business set-aside. Emails are to be sent to kelli.scott.civ@army.mil and prettina.j.duvall.civ@army.mil.
