About this file
This is a Statement of Need (SON) for the 140th Logistics Readiness Squadron, Vehicle Management Flight (140 LRS/LGRV), an Air Force unit requiring the acquisition and installation of a permanent, overhead fall protection system for the Refueling Maintenance (RFM) bay. The system must provide safe and compliant working conditions for mechanics performing maintenance on R-11 refueler trucks and other high-profile vehicles.
Mechanics routinely work on the top deck of R-11 refueler trucks at heights exceeding 10 feet above a concrete floor to service vents, manifolds, and other components, creating a significant fall hazard. The current facility lacks a compliant engineered fall protection system to meet Air Force Instruction (AFI) 91-203 and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulatory requirements. The absence of a compliant system creates unacceptable personnel risk and directly impacts mission capability by potentially resulting in loss of skilled technicians, unit safety stand-downs, and degradation of the 140th Wing's aircraft refueling capabilities. The requested installation is characterized as a fundamental safety requirement rather than an enhancement to ensure safe and uninterrupted vehicle maintenance mission execution and compliance with all legal and regulatory safety obligations.

STATEMENT OF NEED (SON)
Refueling Maintenance Fall Protection System Installation
1. Requirement: The 140th Logistics Readiness Squadron, Vehicle Management Flight (140 LRS/LGRV) requires the acquisition and installation of a permanent, overhead fall protection system for the Refueling Maintenance (RFM) bay. This system is essential to provide a safe and compliant working environment for mechanics performing maintenance on R-11 refueler trucks and other high-profile vehicles.
2. Justification: Refueling Maintenance mechanics are routinely required to work on the top deck of R-11 refueler trucks to service vents, manifolds, and other components. This work surface is at a height exceeding 10 feet above a concrete floor, presenting a significant fall hazard. To achieve compliance with established safety standards, AFI 91-203, Air Force Consolidated Safety Standard, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations mandate the use of an engineered fall protection system to mitigate the risk of serious injury or death in such circumstances. The current facility configuration lacks a compliant system, creating an unacceptable risk to personnel.
3. Mission Impact: The absence of a compliant fall protection system directly impacts the mission by creating an unsafe working condition that could result in a serious mishap. A fall-related incident would lead to the loss of a skilled technician, a unit safety stand-down, and a subsequent degradation of the 140th Wing's aircraft refueling capabilities. The installation of a permanent, engineered system is not an enhancement but a fundamental requirement to ensure the safe and uninterrupted execution of the vehicle maintenance mission and to meet all legal and regulatory safety obligations.
