Tender Details

SUBJECT:
Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of Life Raft Unit - 33/A (LRU-33/A) 20 Person Life Raft, Inflatable - NSN: 4220-01-505-8727S0: Part Number 65260-103
ITEM DESCRIPTION
The LRU-33/ A, 20 Person Life Raft, NSN 4220-01-505-8727S0, Part Number 65260-103 is a Multi-Place Life Raft (MPLR) designed and developed to comply with Military Performance Specification - 1894F (MIL-PRF-1894F) to provide out-of-water support for up to 20 people forced to abandon aircraft at sea. Each Multi-Mission Cargo - 130J (MC-130J)/Search and Rescue Cargo - 130J (HC-130J) aircraft is equipped with 4 each raft to accommodate 80 personnel. The Attack Cargo - 130J (AC-130J) aircraft is equipped with 2 to accommodate 40 personnel.
The life raft NSN 4220-01-505-8727SO, Part Number 65260-103 incorporates a dual-tube, non-reversible design with a self-erecting canopy, an inflation system with a shatter proof gas cylinder, an insulated floor, self-inflating boarding ramps, two water-activated lights (one inside and one outside), and carrying case. Other features include attached ballast bags, sea anchor, and rainwater collector. A foam block with cable guides and cables for left- and right-wing installation are also provided. Two retaining straps with frangible links, which break when the life raft is actuated help maintain the form of the folded life raft. The life raft is constructed of urethane-coated nylon with thermo-bonded seams.
Operational Considerations - The 46-person MPLR is used by Air Mobility Command on their Cargo - 130 (C-130) (series) aircraft. While this would be a desired alternative to gain logistics synergies and efficiencies, the larger life raft was deemed unsuitable for Special Operations Forces (SOF)/Personnel Recovery (PR) aircraft and the only authorized MPLR for Air Force SOF/PR C-130 (series) aircraft ...
