This document is a presentation from an Industry Day event focused on the "Noise Suppression System Sustainment Strategy." It provides an overview of the Hush Houses (HH) system, which are centrally managed, standardized noise suppression systems used for mounted and unmounted engine testing. The presentation details the fleet composition, sustainment strategy (driven by repair requirements), and the current acquisition status, noting that the program office is in the market research phase for a follow-on contract and a sources sought synopsis is available on SAM.gov.

This document is highly relevant for potential bidders interested in the sustainment and potential follow-on contract for the Noise Suppression System. It outlines:

• System Overview: Hush Houses (HH) for engine testing.
• Fleet Composition: Supported aircraft include A-18, T-4, T-9, T-10, T-11, T-12, & T-56 turboprop.
• Sustainment Strategy: Focus on depot-level repairs and configuration updates.
• Acquisition Status: Market research phase for a follow-on contract.
• Operational Purpose: Facilitates engine testing while suppressing noise pollution.
• Fleet Size & Distribution: 135 total assets globally across 6 configurations.
• Logistics & Subsystems: Details on NSN, component strategy, and key subsystems.
• Technical & Proprietary Challenges: Highlights proprietary constraints with the Fire Suppression System (FSS) and Facility Control System (FCS), and outdated technical data.
• Targeted Questions: Poses questions to industry regarding requirements clarity, contract type preferences, NAICS codes, small business subcontracting, IDIQ structure, field service engineer deployment, proprietary data handling, scaling operations, performance management, and identified risks. These questions indicate areas of focus for the government's future acquisition strategy and provide insight into potential requirements and evaluation criteria.
