About this file

This document outlines first article testing requirements for an A-10 aircraft skin component. The contractor must deliver one first article unit in addition to production quantity for testing and evaluation to verify conformance with drawings, fit, function, and engineering notes. The first article must be manufactured in the same facilities as production units. The contractor must perform testing with a report to be sent to Hill Air Force Base, and the government reserves the right to test as well with a maximum estimated cost of $1,500. Approved first articles will be forwarded to the Air Force supply system while disapproved units will be returned to the contractor. Waiver of first article approval may be allowed if the contractor has produced the same or similar component previously for the Air Force within the past 36 months and it exhibited satisfactory performance.

The related federal contract opportunity is a pre-solicitation notice for replenishment spares for the A-10 aircraft skin component. Responses will be negotiated for a firm-fixed-price contract with the Department of the Air Force at Hill Air Force Base. Interested parties should contact the base once a data package has been requested on SAM.gov for approval to access opportunity details.
