RELIABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITY (R&M) ENGINEERING SUPPORT FOR HELICOPTER

The United States Air Force is conducting market research to identify qualified firms that can provide long‑term engineering support for the reliability and maintainability (R&M) of several helicopter platforms (TH‑1H, UH‑1N, HH‑60W, MH‑139). The effort will be structured as a 5‑10‑year cost‑plus‑fixed‑fee contract with multiple option years, potentially extending through FY 37, and is set‑aside for 8(a) small businesses, though other disadvantaged small firms may also respond. The contractor must maintain a facility near Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, and be capable of delivering a wide range of technical services, from RCM and failure analysis to prototype development and technical documentation. • Perform RCM/AE sustainment, failure‑mode analyses, and supportability studies for helicopter weapon systems. • Provide engineering expertise across avionics, structures, mechanical systems, EMI/EMC, and safety analyses, including rapid on‑site response for grounded aircraft. • Develop, modify, and certify technical data, drawings, manuals, and other documentation; fabricate or procure hardware/software for upgrades; and support configuration‑management activities.
