S.A.F.E. awarded contract for maintenance platform for Army National Guard

S.A.F.E. Structure Designs, a designer and manufacturer of creative and customizable solutions for the US Department of Defense (DoD), has been awarded a $3.5 million contract to supply a full wraparound custom maintenance platform for the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter for the Army National Guard. This contract will cover 10 different locations across the USA and was procured through the Yulista Integrated Solutions Prime Vendor contract.

Under this agreement, S.A.F.E. Structure Designs will provide a tailored, state-of-the-art platform designed to ensure the safety and efficiency of UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter maintenance operations. The custom platform will be delivered to 10 Army National Guard bases, enhancing the serviceability of these critical helicopters across the USA.

“We are thrilled to have been selected for this high-profile contract,” said Johnny Buscema, President and CEO of S.A.F.E. Structure Designs. “Our custom maintenance platforms are known for their durability, safety features, and user-centric design, and we are blessed to have been selected to provide the Army National Guard with equipment that supports their critical mission. This project marks a significant milestone in our continued partnership with the US military.”

The UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter is an integral part of the Army National Guard’s fleet, used in a variety of missions including troop transport, medical evacuation, and cargo lift operations. The custom-designed maintenance platforms will facilitate easier and safer repairs, inspections, and maintenance of these vital helicopters, ensuring they remain operational for mission readiness.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have recently leased two of their own new Black Hawk helicopters for border control missions.
