H-1 Structural and Power Improvements for Next-Gen Effects (SPINE) 3.0 Security Requirements / Delta PRR
NAVAIR Patuxent River intends to award a Firm Fixed Price modification to Bell Textron Inc. in Fort Worth, Texas for security requirements and a Delta Production Readiness Review covering electrical components for AH-1Z and UH-1Y and structural components for UH-1Y under the SPINE Phase III effort. This will be a sole source action because the government lacks license rights to Bell Process Specifications and Bell Standards, and qualifying another source would take an estimated eight years, causing unacceptable delay. The notice is for information only; subcontracting opportunities are available via Bell's supplier website or by emailing strategicsourcing@bellhelicopter.textron.com. Questions should be directed to Andrea Long.
