Solicitation FA8533-19-R-0006 is a Total Small Business Set-Aside for the procurement of Ground Handling Cradles used to transport, handle, and store B-1B aircraft engines. These military-specific cradles allow for engine movement between trailers and test stands without overhead hoisting and feature a manually cranked gearbox for maintenance access. The government will provide the 3000E trailer as government furnished equipment, while the contractor is responsible for providing the roller adapters.

This Ground Handling Cradle (NSN 1730-01-166-1127, part number L396C2002) was created based on a SERD provided by Boeing/McDonnell Douglas, CAGE 43999, in 1983, under P/N L396C2002. Boeing created this SERD and Standard Manufacturing, CAGE 98296, created the product and Technical Data Package (TDP) under P/N 6U1E-1. The Cradle is used to transport, handle, and store engines for B-1B aircraft. The cradle consists of an extension frame, 6 standard rail roller adapters, forward handling brackets for height adjustments, and aft handling brackets. The cradle assembly can be rotated by using a manually cranked gearbox to allow maintenance personnel access to different parts of the engine. This Ground Handling Cradle shall support the B-1B engine on parallel rail equipment during transportation, installation and removal from the aircraft and during maintenance. The cradle (adapter set) shall provide the capability to move the engine from one trailer, work stand, or A/M37T-20 engine test stand without the use of overhead hoisting.
