The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Aviation), is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the CROSSTUBE ASSEMBLY, NSN 1620-00-076-9036, required for H1 helicopters across all versions. The procurement involves the new manufacture of the assembly, which includes labor, materials, inspection, testing, and logistics management, with an estimated requirement for a five-year base period. This component is critical for the operational readiness of military helicopters, and interested parties are encouraged to submit their capability statements by September 24, 2024, to Christopher Rose at CHRISTOPHER.ROSE@DLA.MIL. No solicitation is currently posted, and responses are voluntary, with the potential for the requirement to be set aside for small businesses.
