The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst, NJ (NAWCADLKE under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1, intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price type contract, on a sole source basis, to EAA Tools, Inc. located in Mesa, AZ (CAGE: 9PVP() for the manufacture of a quantity of two hundred and twenty-five (225) Low Collective Gauge, P/N: LCG-60-AA in support of the H-60 Helicopter Program. The Low Collective Gage (P/N LCG-60-AA) is used to verify the below range. Currently bolts are measured with calipers, but due to location on the aircraft, it is very difficult to get an accurate measurement of the bolt, leading to potentially incorrect settings. H-60 aircraft are required to be rigged in the collective channel to facilitate proper collective range and ensure proper control calibration. This range is established by the low collective stop bolt at the base of the collective stick. EAA Tools, Inc. owns all proprietary rights to the engineering data and detailed product drawings.
