PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION
The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the production/repair data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements for the production of NSN 1005-00-919-3921 (7.62 MM Gun Housing) for US Air Force, Army, and Navy requirements. This is a build to print acquisition. Our acquisition strategy is a five-year contract (basic plus four option years) and will continue through FY24. Two First Articles are required (one (1) expendable and one (1) added to Production) if a vendor has not produced this item in the past 36 months. The projected quantities will be 13 for the basic year and a range from 1-15 for the following option years.
The 7.62 MM Gun Housing is a 5" diameter by 9.28" long casting of 17-4PH stainless cast that provides bearing surfaces for the Rotor Assembly in each Service's 7.62MM Automatic Gun (Minigun) configuration. The Air Force Minigun configurations are the GAU-2B/A, GAU-2B/A Modified and GAU-2C. The GAU-2C is an electrically driven, air-cooled multi barrel gun, composed of six barrels and six bolt assemblies which revolve around the longitudinal axis of the weapon. This gun is capable of firing from 2,000 to 6,000 rounds per minute. The GAU-2C Minigun is used on USAF MH-60 and HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters.
