Awarded

Balance Technology Inc.

$336,685.00 on the award notice, July 14, 2025, contract FA857125P0096

Description

As published on SAM.gov.

This is a sole source, commercial requirement. The Dowty Propeller Shop in B350 currently has one BTI prop balancer and one BTI blade balancer. These two balancers were provided in the initial standup of the shop by Dowty GE. These two stands are specifically called for use during overhaul within the Dowty commercial maintenance manuals. These balancers are extremely sensitive and occasionally require OEM maintenance.

This acquisition is to add one each prop balancer and blade balancer to reduce/eliminate downtime during OEM maintenance. The existing stations are single point failures and have resulted in work stoppages requiring OEM remedy. During the repairs, the shop is not able to support the PPP and C130J fleet. Balance Technology Inc (BTI) is the OEM for the existing two balance stations in the R391 Propeller shop.

This acquisition is for two identical balance stations to augment the existing two in support of the 402d Commodities Maintenance Group (CMXG), Robins Air Force Base, Georgia.
