These numbers are strictly an estimate. There is no guarantee that outyear repairs in the quantities stated will be needed. Because this solicitation will result in an IDC requirements contract, and because the contract will be used to acquire work (e.g., repair, modification, or overhaul) on existing items of Government property, it is important to note that failure of the Government to furnish such items in the amounts or quantities described in the Schedule as "estimated" or "maximum" will not entitle the contractor to any equitable adjustment in price under the Government Property clause of the resultant contract.

The required delivery of these repairable assets is 12 months after receipt of funded order. F.O.B. will be Destination with the desired ship to location of DLA at Robins AFB. The full address has been incorporated on the attached RFP for clarity. A commercial warranty is applicable to this requirement.

The Government’s needs for repair services are required in order to ensure aircraft availability. These test sets are used in conjunction with the Ux Validator II in order to test and verify functionality of various displays, sensors and switches that are vital to proper and safe aircraft performance. A lack of sufficient operational test sets leads to delays in aircraft maintenance completion and extension of downtime.

T70X Engine Test Set

The T70X Engine Test Set enables the operator to simulate signals to the engine instrument display system. The T70X Engine Test Set connects to the aircraft through specialized adapter harnesses, hi-speed data cables, and system pods. The Ux Validator (not included in the set) provides interface and power for the test set and the display for the user.

Ux Validator Series II Set

The Series II Ux Validator Set is used with a variety of ULTRAX sets to test and troubleshoot aircraft systems and components. Together with a system-specific ULTRAX set, the Series II Ux Validator Set enables the operator to provide simulated signals to a specific aircraft system or component and then monitor the resulting signals coming back to the set. Based on the stimulus provided and the resulting outputs, the operator can determine whether an aircraft system or component is functioning properly.

Blade Burn Set

The Blade Burn Set is used to test the heater mats in the main and tail rotor blades of the H_60/S-70 helicopter. The set connects to the blades through a hi-speed data cable, a pod, and, for the tail rotor, an adapter harness, all of which are included in the set. The Ux Validator (not included in the set) provides interface for the sets components and a display for the user.

Stab Position Sensor/Limit Switch Set

The Stab Position/Limit Switch Test Set, when used with an Ux Validator, allows the maintainer to verify, troubleshoot, and adjust the stabilator position sensor and limit switch settings while on either the aircraft or on the bench.

This services action for repair/refurbish is to ensure the Ux Validator II and associated test sets are available for the maintenance of the HH-60W helicopter allowing for increased availability and flexibility and maintaining mission capable status.

The Government does not own or have access to the data for these items. The Government has determined that the previous version of this system is a commercial item. A determination on this version has not yet been made.
