Each aircraft or missile has its own contract line item (CLIN) which will be individually executed or collectively at USG discretion and dependent on available funding. The contractor shall provide all management, tools, supplies, equipment, parts, and labor necessary to accomplish inspection, repair, cleaning, preparation, priming, painting and marking of the aircraft and missiles.

Contractor shall properly repair surface damage, strip, clean, fill, coat with a corrosion preventative, and paint the aircraft/missile static displays. For aircraft, this work includes landing gear and propellers as applicable. The aircraft are located at the Museum of Aviation, Robins AFB, GA, where all work shall be performed. Work must occur on the grounds of the Museum of Aviation and during normal operating hours. The Program Manager (PM) will furnish the contractor with paint color specifications and diagrams showing color application locations on aircraft and missile displays. The Program Manager will also provide locations of tail number stencils as well as proper locations for all other external markings. The contractor will be responsible for compliance with all environmental regulations and the proper use, care, and disposal of hazardous materials. The contractor must show demonstrated successful experience repairing, preparing, painting and marking historical museum aircraft for the purpose of conservation, preservation and authenticity.

Past performance history is required and must include the successful completion of at least six separate previous USG contracts performing this type work. The contractor must clearly show a demonstrated understanding of the historical aircraft restoration process, standards and integrity in the preservation of irreplaceable national aviation treasures. Past performance references should include USG contract number, location, contracting officer contact information, type of aircraft involved, and contract amount and sample photographs of the finished product. Contractors without successful past performance will not be considered for this contract.

Each step of the following process will be subject to in-process inspections (IPIs) by the PM or representative. The contractor may not proceed to the next step or deviate from the process without the approval of the PM or representative indicating that current process step has been successfully accomplished.

1.1. Inspection: Inspect and document each aircraft’s surface for flaws (paint deterioration, corrosion and dents) and provide a copy to the PM or his designee for review. Understand and mutually agree to the work expected by the PM for each aircraft or missile.

1.2. Washing: The contractor shall wash all aircraft/missiles and ensure that dirt deposits, residual oil/hydraulic fluid, biological soils, and insect/bird nests are removed from the aircraft/missile.

Surface contamination shall be removed through use of environmentally approved high-pressure wash cleaner and thorough rinsing. Care shall be taken by contractor during task in order to protect ground underneath and around aircraft from negative environmental impact. Contractor shall not take longer than three days to wash each aircraft/missile with the exception of weather delays.

1.3. Corrosion Repair: Aircraft shall be inspected for sheet metal damage, corrosion and composite repairs for each aircraft. All corrosion and composite repair processes shall be approved by the PM or representative. Any required repair shall produce a smooth, flush appearance similar to the original surface. The contractor shall ensure all fuselage, wing, and empennage drain holes are clear of obstructions.

1.4. Paint Preparation: The contractor is responsible for paint preparation functions as necessary, i.e. scraping, sanding, surface washing, and priming. The entire aircraft surface, landing gear and propellers, if applicable, will be completely prepared for painting as recommended by the paint manufacturer to ensure the best possible adhesion of the paint for durability and appearance. All surfaces must be free of paint chalk prior to primer and paint application. Aircraft canopies and windows will not be painted unless specified in the Colors, Markings and Insignia (CMI) instructions referenced below in para 1.7.

1.5. Paint Primer Application: Each aircraft will have the Sherwin Williams Primer B66A01320, Procryl Primer Gray paint primer applied to the entire aircraft as recommended by the paint manufacturer to ensure the best possible adhesion of the paint for durability and appearance.

1.6. Painting: The contractor shall paint the selected aircraft and missiles static displays. Prior to painting, contractor shall secure the work area using temporary fencing. All equipment shall be placed inside the secured area at the end of the work day.

All paint used must be Sherwin Williams Pro Industrial Waterbased Acrolon 100 Polyurethane Extra White B65W00721 paint. Painting shall be performed so there are no runs, drips, sags, light spots, excessive “orange peel” or bubbled paint. If any marking is obliterated or unreadable, or color scheme/camouflage pattern is undetermined, the contractor shall contact the PM to determine correct marking or color. Any paint used shall have an expected lifespan of at least five years. Spraying operation shall be accomplished with approved low emissions equipment. During the painting process, any parking lots downwind of operation and with possibility of paint overspray should have signs declaring the following: “Open air painting in progress. Park at own risk.” Contractor shall coordinate with the PM prior to painting any aircraft/missile. The corrosion repair and painting processes combined shall not exceed sixteen weeks in duration for any aircraft/missile. The aircraft tires and other “non-paint” areas shall be covered in order to prevent overspray onto these areas.

1.7. Marking: The contractor is responsible for exact reproduction of all paint schemes including tail and other specific markings. If any marking is obliterated or unreadable, or color scheme/camouflage pattern is undetermined, the contractor shall contact the PM to determine correct marking or color. All marking applications will be painted on the aircraft. No vinyl decals are permitted. The PM will provide a detailed Colors, Markings and Insignia (CMI) package for each aircraft if the requirement deviates significantly from the existing markings already on the aircraft.

1.8. Maintenance: The performance of the contract shall be performed in stages of washing, corrosion repair, preparation, priming, painting and marking. The contractor shall, to the best of its ability, protect any and all landscaping adjacent to aircraft. The contractor shall prevent ruts in the turf caused by equipment.
