2.0 Objectives

2.1 NASA requires overhaul and services for the landing gear wheels and tires for the various AFRC-owned aircraft. These overhauls shall include all necessary inspections, repairs and certifications required to make the wheel assembly airworthy. In order to perform this service, the contractor shall be a FAA-145 Repair Station Limited Accessories.

2.2 NASA requires all components specified in the Attachment 2: Schedule of Supplies and Services will be returned from overhaul.

2.3 The established services do not include “Unusually Damaged components.”

“Unusually Damaged” is defined as components severely damaged due to obvious abuse/misuse, crash damage or cannibalization. Components meeting one or more of these criteria may be considered as “Unusually Damaged”. All other components shall be overhauled in accordance with the established services.

3.0 Scope

3.1 The contactor shall provide all labor, tooling, test equipment and facilities necessary to complete the overhaul process listed in the schedule entitled Attachment 2: Schedule of Supplies and Services. The services to be performed under this contract shall be performed at the Contractor’s facility.

3.2 NASA AFRC shall ship all landing gear wheels and tires to contractor for repair.

3.3 The contractor shall return ship all landing gear wheels and tires to the designated location indicated in Attachment 2: Schedule of Supplies and Services.

3.7 Requests for Government Furnished Material (GFM): Requests for GFM will be reviewed by the Government and a determination will be made to either furnish the requested material or deny the request.

3.7.1 Requests for GFM shall be submitted in writing to the CO with a brief narrative that supports the request.

3.8 Aircraft on Ground (AOG) and Work Stop (WS) Requirements:

3.8.1 An AOG or WS situation necessitates a special schedule and requires accelerated overhaul completion and expedited delivery to the applicable NASA location. If an AOG/WS status occurs as a result of a lack of any of the components specified in the schedule, the Contractor will be notified by the Government in writing of the AOG/WS situation. The Contractor's response shall provide the following.

3.8.1.1 Status of the component(s) needed to satisfy the AOG/WS condition that includes what NASA items in-house for repair/overhaul are closest to completion under normal working conditions.

3.8.1.2 An estimate of the labor hours needed to accelerate work completion. The accelerated work will be reviewed by the CO for authorization.
