Sources Sought for the Overhaul of the CH-47 Swashplate, Controllable

The Army is conducting market research to assess feasibility and identify sources capable of overhauling the controllable swashplate (NSN 1615‑01‑395‑0006) for the CH‑47 Chinook helicopter fleet. The effort will be structured as a five‑year firm‑fixed‑price IDIQ contract, with an estimated quantity range of 10 to 168 units (including 28 units for Foreign Military Sales). Only vendors approved by the System Readiness Directorate may perform the work; existing approved vendors are Overhaul Support Services LLC, Airtronics Inc., and The Boeing Company, but other qualified companies are encouraged to submit capability statements. Responses must be submitted electronically by the deadline, and include company size, socio‑economic status, and full point‑of‑contact details. • Overhaul of a critical safety component (swashplate) to restore it to “like‑new” condition per DMWR 55‑1615‑297. • Estimated requirement: 10–168 swashplates over five years, with a portion for FMS. • Contract type: 5‑year Firm‑Fixed‑Price IDIQ; only SRD‑approved vendors may be awarded.
