ITEM DESCRIPTION

The Pilot Warning Alarm Set (NSN 6340-01-153-8073; PN 205-074-033-103), also known as the Revolutions per Minute (RPM) Limit Detector, monitors the speed of the rotor head and the engine.  If either has a rate of speed that is too low, it alerts the pilot of this occurrence.  This part is utilized by the USAF TH-1H helicopter, which is located at Fort Rucker, AL and has a fleet size of 27 aircraft.  This requirement is to repair all 12ea unserviceable units that are in AF inventory. PSC: J016 / NAICS: 336413

This is a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) item sold on the open market to civilian and government customers.  Commercial sources and other vendors who currently have (or have had) experience servicing this part or a similar commercial version (and/or have similar repair procedures for a Pilot Warning Alarm System) will be considered a potential candidate since this system is considered a COTS item.  The Government relies on vendors to have performed similar-type work in the DoW or industry.  Repair shops that use industry-developed technical procedures may also be counted as a legitimate contender for this work-scope.
