This is a letter solicitation for a one-time buy of three adapter assemblies in support of the Chinook weapon system, under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement. The item is a Critical Safety Item requiring First Article Testing, Production Lot Testing, Item Unique Identification, Serial Number Reporting, and TAMMS-A compliance. The government’s estimated production lead time is 1,215 days after contract award. If another supplier expresses interest after viewing the public synopsis, a formal solicitation will be issued to accommodate them. Proposals received that do not fully address all solicitation requirements will be deemed inadequate.

The government seeks to acquire three each of an adapter assembly (NSN 1615-01-140-0972, P/N 145D3407-10) for the CHINOOK aircraft on a firm fixed-price contract. Delivery is to Tinker AFB, OK, with a production lead time of 1,215 days after contract award, either with or without first article testing. The item is restricted to The Boeing Company (CAGE 77272), and reverse engineering is uneconomical; all offerors must meet prequalification requirements. Firms capable of producing the item may seek source approval via the AvMC public website. Interested parties should contact the contract specialist by email; foreign firms must route requests through their embassies.
