- Description
- KC135 Boom Nozzle Bolt Retention RFI INTRODUCTION THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. REQUESTS FOR A SOLICITATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. This Request for Information (RFI) is in support of Market Research being conducted by the United States Air Force for the Boom Nozzle Bolt Retention Program. This is not a Request for Proposal (or solicitation) or an indication that a contractual commitment will exist for this requirement. The government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this market research. No funds are available to fund the information solicited. The KC-135 Contracting Office, AFLCMC/WKKP located at Tinker Air Force Base, is requesting information pursuant to FAR PART 10, in support of Market Research. The United States Air Force is seeking feasible retention methodologies to eliminate the potential of the boom nozzle assembly hardware from becoming debris in the airstream. The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 336413, which has a corresponding Size Standard of 1,000 employees. The Government is interested in all businesses to include, Large Business, Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Businesses 8(a)s, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Hubzone Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. The government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable and identify your small business status to the identified NAICS code. Additionally, please provide any anticipated teaming arrangements, along with a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers for the past three years. Any responses involving teaming agreements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime, and the work accomplished by the teaming partners. DESCRIPTION OF INFORMATION REQUESTED Assistance is required to determine appropriate retention methodologies to eliminate the potential of the boom nozzle assembly hardware becoming debris in the airstream and to generate appropriate engineering/technical data to implement the methodology on KC-135 boom nozzle assemblies. The Boom Nozzle Bolt Retention method must not interfere with normal KC-135 refueling missions on any receiver aircraft, impact any existing boom nozzle to receptacle clearance and/or reduce the existing boom envelope which currently exists for each receiver (current azimuth and elevation limits). The method must be compatible with all different types of receiver receptacles and satisfy STANAG 7191. The method must also pass application-appropriate testing per DO-160G, Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment, to withstand fuel exposure and environmental effects such as heat, cold, salt, and ultraviolet radiation. Request pros and cons for each methodology studied as well as cost and schedule impacts for implementation. The Government requests non-proprietary information is submitted in response to this RFI. However, should proprietary information be submitted, it should be marked "PROPRIETARY", and will be handled accordingly. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any proprietary information not properly identified. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with the applicable Government regulations. Proprietary information or trade secrets should be clearly identified. See attached Boom Nozzle Bolt Retention RFI for the Bolt diagram. RESPONSE Responses shall address: Appropriate retention methodologies Program Estimated Cost information (ROM) Schedule impacts for implementation Any suggestions that satisfy airworthiness requirements Interested parties should also include the following information in their response: Company Name and Address CAGE Code (if available) Point of Contact Small Business Type U.S. or Foreign Owned Entity Responses and/or questions to this RFI will be posted through FBO.
