Meggitt Fan Assemblies for H-46 LAIRCM Program

The Naval Air Systems Command intends to award a firm, fixed price contract to procure seventy-four (74) Meggitt Airdynamics fan assemblies, which are long lead items for the CH-46E Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) system modification kit. The fan assemblies include the fan mixed flow assembly, Meggitt P/N 50300-1, check valve, Meggitt P/N 50310-1, and welded duct assembly, Meggitt P/N 49734-1. All three parts are collectively called the LAIRCM Pod cooling fan assembly. The first ten (10) sets of the pod assembly shall be delivered no later than eighteen (18) weeks after contract award. This procurement is pursuant to Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) - only one responsible source able to meet Government requirements. Meggitt Airdynamics is the only qualified source that can provide fans that meet the requirement and specifications to provide cooling air at the proper flow rate to maintain the LAIRCM pointer tracker laser assembly at the anticipated ambient temperatures. The Meggitt Airdynamics fan is the only fan that has proven that it meets the specifications for the required mass airflow, weight, size and durability for the CH-46E LAIRCM system. Inquiries regarding the availability of subcontracting opportunities should be forwarded directly to Meggitt Airdynamics, Corona, CA. See Note 22.
