The Department of the Air Force, specifically the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center MH-139A Program Office (AFLCMC/WIH), is conducting market research to identify sources capable of designing, integrating, and testing a modified cabin seating configuration for the MH-139A aircraft. This sources sought notice, assigned solicitation number MH139-CR01, falls under NAICS 336413 Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing and PSC 1520 AIRCRAFT, ROTARY WING.

Technical requirements include the provision of swivel seats for special mission aviators and the ability to obtain an FAA-approved Supplemental Type Certificate for the modification. The scope of work includes on-site technical support during initial installation and testing in Ohio, followed by subject matter expert support for a defined post-integration period. The information gathered through this notice will assist the Air Force in developing its acquisition strategy and performance specifications.
