The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements to repair the Control Indicator applicable to the HH-60G: Noun: NSN Part Number Control Indicator 5895-20-010-9425SO 100-602-653-000 This requirement is for repair services. Our repair services strategy is a five-year contract (basic 1-year, plus four 1-year ordering periods) and will continue through FY27. The projected quantities will be Best Estimated Quantities (BEQ) of fifteen (15) each per year. The Government requires repair services in order to support current combat search and rescue operations. The HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter is a variant of the Army’s UH-60 Black Hawk with a primary mission purpose of Personnel Recovery (PR) with an emphasis on Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR). The HH-60G conducts day and night CSAR operations into hostile environments to recover downed aircrew or other isolated personnel in austere and unfriendly territory. Because of its versatility, the HH-60G is also tasked to perform military operations other than war including civil search and rescue, emergency medical evacuation, disaster relief, international aid, and counter drug activities. A vital part of the aircrew’s mission is the ability to scan and search an area of interest and relay messages in search and rescue missions. The HH-60G helicopter requires efficient management of all situational awareness of the pilots during both day and night tactical operations. Efficient situational awareness management is key to the success of all Personnel Recovery mission sets and significantly enhances mission accomplishment. The Control Indicator is used on Air Force HH-60G aircraft that perform for various missions as noted in background. The Control Indicator provides centralized control and monitoring of navigational, sensor, fire control and armament functions on aircraft via the 1553B data bus. It displays mission data and permits operator entry and modification of mission data. Additionally, it provides information exchange between flight crew and navigational systems. This assembly has special characteristics which, if not conforming to the original design of the part, could cause failure of the Control Indicator. Because of the complexity of this item and the lack of proprietary data, including test procedures, it would not be possible to establish an alternate source of repair for this item.
