This procurement, identified by NSN 2920-01-180-0453 and Part Number 519892-5-1, supports the A-BE Blackhawk weapon system. The contract includes a guaranteed minimum of 70 units and a maximum quantity of 190 units over the performance period. Forecasted requirements estimate 70 units in the first year followed by 30 units annually for the remaining four years.

This requirement is classified under NAICS 336320, Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing, and PSC 29. Competition is restricted to Honeywell International Inc. (CAGE code 02LU7) because the technical data required to compete the acquisition is not physically available, cannot be obtained economically, and the government cannot draft adequate specifications for a competitive solicitation.

The production lead time without First Article Testing is established at 225 days after contract award for the initial 70 units. Deliveries are to be made to New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. Responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by May 15, 2018, and Christopher L. Butler serves as the primary point of contact.
