Summary
AI-generated · Aug 26, 2025Repairs of the Refueling Probe Assembly used on HH-60G/W helicopters (military-unique item designed by OEM Sikorsky).

Inspection and Acceptance are at FOB Origin. This is not a small-business set-aside and the work is not a commercial item.

No paper copies or phone/fax requests; inquiries should go to the designated program points of contact.
