A Firm Fixed Price, 100% Small Business set-aside purchase order for Brand Name Bauer or Equal parts is anticipated. Market Research identified three vendors that expressed capability and interest in this requirement, therefore a competitive solicitation is expected.

The 506 EARS has a requirement to procure Brand Name Bauer or Equivalent Wheel Adapters to mount the Nose and Main Landing Gear wheels and tires for the KC-135 aircraft.

1 each Wheel Adapter model number: BEI3840-184-P1 or Equivalent 1 each Wheel Adapter model number: BEI3840-166-P20 or Equivalent

These adapters are required to properly mate wheel assemblies for part numbers C20579000 and 8855427-10 (two different tires). The wheels need to be changed periodically due to wear and tear for the KC-135 to carry out its mission. There is an existing Bauer 8071 Wheel Build-Up Stand at Andersen AFB used for mounting tires for smaller aircraft, however these Wheel Adapters are required in order to accommodate the larger KC-135 tires.
