E-MAIL: click here to contact author, david_chesnut@fmso.navy.mil. Fleet and Industrial Supply Center San Diego requests information on industry capability to fabricate a Cargo Hook Restraint System (CHRS) for the Zodiac F-470/G-470 model Combat Rubber Raiding/Reconnaissance Craft (CRRC), NSN-1940-01-262-3993. The CHRS is intended to allow fuel, motors and personal gear to be placed inside the CRRC, which is then attached to the underside of a SH-60 helicopter via cargo hook for airdrop insertion capability. The CHRS shall include a modified aluminum I-beam with cargo hook assembly and cargo tie-downs. The modified I-beam is bolted through the CRRC's subfloor via an aluminum base plate using marine grade, corrosion resistant bolts. The modified I-beam also is bolted to the existing transom (different angles on F/G models) and TBD bow board. The entire system is less than ten feet in length. The Navy wishes to obtain preliminary price, delivery, production capability and other market information for procurement planning purposes. The Navy will provide its preliminary CHRS drawings to those potential small business concerns responding to this notice. The Navy ultimately anticipates acquiring approximately 170 production units. Intended SIC Code is 3441. See CBD Notes 1 and 26. (0160)
