Manufacture the Spider Assembly used on the TH-1H and UH-1N helicopter transmissions
INSTRUCTIONS:
The document(s) below contain a description of the Spider Assembly requirement and a Contractor Capability Survey. The Survey allows Contractors to provide their company's capability.
If, after reviewing these documents, you desire to participate in the market research, you should provide documentation that supports your company's capability in meeting these requirements. Failure to provide documentation may result in the government being unable to adequately assess your capabilities. If you lack sufficient experience in a particular area, please provide details explaining how you would overcome the lack of experience/capabilities in order to perform that portion of the requirement (i.e., teaming, subcontracting, etc.)
Identify any areas of work that your organization believes should be broken out exclusively for Small Business.
Both large and small businesses are encouraged to participate in this Market Research. Joint ventures or teaming arrangements are encouraged.
•4. Questions relative to this market survey should be addressed to the PCO.
Spider Assembly for TH-1H and UH-1N
PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION
The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the qualification requirements to manufacture the spider assembly on the TH-1H and UH-1N transmission.
NOUN NSN P/N
Spider Assembly 1615-00-874-0862GA 204-040-397-1
This requirement is for manufacturing. The current requirement is a two (2) year contract (basic plus one (1) quantity option year). The expected period of performance is FY19-FY20. The projected Best Estimated Quantity for the basic year will be 29. The range for FY20 will be 1-15.
The Government's needs for manufacturing required in order to support current combat search and rescue operations. The TH-1N and UH-1N aircrew's missions include: training all USAF helicopter pilots, airlift of emergency security forces, security and surveillance of off-base nuclear weapons convoys, and distinguished visitor airlift. Other uses include: disaster response operations, search and rescue, medical evacuation, airborne cable inspections, support to aircrew survival school, aerial testing, routine missile site support and transport. The UH-1N is part of the presidential aerial support, along with supporting the Special Operation Forces (SOF)/Search and Rescue Personnel Recovery missions.
The spider assembly gear is part of the upper planetary assembly in the transmission. The transmission provides a drive angle change and speed reduction from the engine to the main rotor. This is accomplished through spiral bevel gears and two stage planetary gears. Secondary gear trains drive the tail rotor driveshaft, transmission oil pump, tachometer generator, two hydraulic pumps and the rotor brake drive quill The transmission main input quill incorporates a one way clutch which permits the transmission and the components that it drives to overrun the engine and main driveshaft. This provides for a free drive system for autorotation. The transmission oil system is self-contained with the exception that an external oil cooler is required.
