K -- POTENTIAL SOURCES SOUGHT -- MOD POC For copy, DUSTING CANTLEY, OC-ALC/LCRA, 405-736-3832,, For additional information contact Ken Thomason/Pkc/[405]736-5370 Sources Sought for KC-135 Modernized Latrine. The Air Force is planning to replace the current latrines on the KC-135 fleet. The current configuration consists of a non-flushing holding tank which is removed from the aircraft for servicing. The holding capacity of this current latrine is inadequate. The planned modification will replace the existing latrine using a commercial airline type externally services latrine. The desired latrine should have sufficient capacity to handle twenty-eight people for eight hours without servicing. If not possible, identify maximum capacity in terms of number of people and hours. The waste tank will, ideally, fit under the commode receptacle (approximate floor space is 20 inches by 36 inches with some space used for battery storage). Due to construction techniques of the KC-135, a below-floor holding tank is not consider practical, although one may be considered by the Air Force. The installation must be designed to minimize leaks, and if possible, have secondary barriers to prevent latrine leaks from reaching aircraft structure. The Air Force will contract competitively for the engineering design, reprocurement data, fabrication and delivery of all Group "A" kits (to include wiring, service receptacles, and permanent plumbing) and for Group "B" kits (to include the commode, pumps, and holding tank). Installation of the kits will be accomplished by the Air Force. On-site surveys of actual aircraft may be required. The contractor will be required to write the Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO), accomplish stress analysis to verify structural acceptability of the installation, provide source data for changes to maintenance manuals and related technical orders (T.O.) (to include final incorporation resulting from this modification). In addition to sources, the Air Force desires rough order of magnitude costs for the kits, assuming options for 100 kits, 300 kits, and 550 kits. Interested sources may do so in writing to Dusting Cantley; Fax 405-736-5604; phone 405-736-3832 for technical questions. (0304)
