- Description
- The U.S. Marine Corps has a requirement for an AH-1W Linkless Feed Program, which calls for replacing the current A/A49E-7 (V4) 20MM Turett System Linked Feed Assembly with one that utilizes the Linkless bulk 20MM ammunition that is common to other Department of Navy (DON) 20MM systems (F/A-18, CIWS). The 20MM Linkless Feed modification will be installed in 181 aircraft and two trainers. At a minimum, the new system should include replacement of the ammunition can, feed chutes, and replacement or modification to the current feeder mechanism for the AH-1W A/A49E-7 (V4) 20MM Turret System. Additionally, the modified/new system will stay within existing size, weight, and power restrictions without changes to the existing airframe. Ammunition loading in austere locations/environments including Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARP) and shipboard environments are required. This change will be incorporated into and reused when the AH-1W is remanufactured into the AH-1Z. Expected release of the Request For Proposal (RFP) will be in early September. Once the RFP is issued, all responsible sources may submit a proposal. Once released in early September, the RFP can be located at:http://www.navair.navy.mil/doing_business/open_solicitations/. In addition, the Government will allow those offerors interested in a Pre-Proposal Conference meeting to visit the Government?s facility at Patuxent River, MD to discuss the RFP after it has been released. The time and date must be agreed upon by the Government and potential offeror and must be scheduled before the proposal due date to be established in the solicitation. For those potential offerors interested in viewing the AH-1W aircraft, please contact the Contract Specialist to establish a time and date for the site visit. The Primary POC is Lanelle Turner, Contract Specialist, Phone 301-757-5287, Fax 301-757-5284, Email lanelle.turner@navy.mil
