HH-60W Cabin Reconfiguration

The US Air Force is conducting market research to assess industry's ability to perform A-Kit and B-Kit Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD), Air Vehicle (AV) Test and Evaluation (T&E), and retrofit installation activities for the HH-60W helicopter. The modification is required to support the Air Force District of Washington (AFDW) mission, which includes the installation of passenger seats for 11 passengers. The respondents are expected to provide information on their capabilities, experience, and approach to developing a solution. • The HH-60W is a multi-engine, rotary wing aircraft with a primary mission of worldwide Personnel Recovery (PR)/Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR). • The modification requires the installation of crashworthy seats, restraint systems, and other components. • The respondents are expected to provide information on their experience with similar projects, their technical and management capabilities, and their approach to reducing costs and challenges. • The Government is seeking technical data rights that afford sufficient and appropriate Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement rights in all technical data necessary to enable organic sustainment and future competitive modification efforts.
