Description
This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by the Air Force (AF) E-3 AWACS Division Program Management (AFLCMC/HBSLB), Tinker AFB, OK for planning purposes only. This RFI does not constitute an invitation for bids, a request for proposal, a solicitation, or a request for quote. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with the preparation or submission of the information requested. The primary intent of this RFI is to solicit industry feedback on the scope of work required to complete a maintenance steering group (MSG) analysis and corrosion hot spot analysis of the E-3 AWACS maintenance program in order to minimize unscheduled and scheduled maintenance down time and increase aircraft availability for the warfighter. The goal of the E-3 AWACS maintenance program analysis is to provide increased aircraft availability to the warfighter for a fleet of aircraft and reduce ownership cost to the AF and participating Foreign Military Sales (FMS) E-3 customers. To accomplish this, the Government intends to accomplish an MSG-3 analysis on the E-3 AWACS maintenance program. Appendix 1 contains the E-3 AWACS maintenance program analysis requirements matrix. The government is interested in industry's capabilities and experience to perform these analyses for the following areas for a 707 military derivative air vehicle, including cost and schedule estimates for completing these items on the E-3 AWACS fleet: •· Accomplishment of an MSG-3 analysis on the maintenance program •· Identification of Safety Critical Items, Critical Safety Items and Flight Safety Critical Aircraft Parts •· Corrosion and stress corrosion hot spots/defect finding experience and recommended corrective and preventative maintenance actions for those areas •· Identification of common structural repairs and the identification of necessary structural repair part kits including fasteners •· Achieving successful first pass of functional check flights, acceptance check flights, and maintenance operational checks prior to and after heavy aircraft maintenance or programmed depot maintenance •· Identify best practices for serialized item management •· Pre-induction inspections to identify defects as early as possible prior to heavy maintenance visit Assume that Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) data will not be available and that an Associate Contractor Agreement may be required. Assume that the Government will furnish Government owned maintenance program information. The Government requests the respondents provide a budgetary cost and schedule estimate based on the total requirements identified in Appendix 1. The Government requests the respondents address their capabilities and experience for each of the areas above. Provide your response no later than COB December 4, 2014 directly to E-3 Contracting (AFLCMC/HBSK), Danny Schill, Contracting Officer via email at danny.schill@us.af.mil and annotate the subject line of the email response as: E-3 AWACS Maintenance Program Analysis (RFI) Response.
