Statement of Work (SOW) - B-52 Aircraft Repainting (Date 27 April 2026)

1. Introduction This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for repainting a B-52 aircraft for training. The Contractor will provide all personnel, supervision, tools, materials, and equipment necessary to complete the project in accordance with this SOW, applicable USAF Technical Orders (T.O.s), Barksdale AFB Environmental Requirements and all relevant Federal, State, County, and local regulations, including safety, OSHA, DEQ, DOT, and EPA rules, and the Barksdale AFB Hazardous Waste Program Manager.

2. Objective The objective of this project is to restore the paint scheme and markings of the specified B- 52 Static Display Air Vehicle (SDAV) to its original operational appearance for the current operational period. The restoration will ensure the long-term preservation of the aircraft.

3. Scope of Work The Contractor shall perform the following tasks:

3.1. SDAV Inspection Process:

• Stage the SDAV for cleaning and painting.

• Conduct a meticulous inspection to detect any corrosion or damage that could compromise the structural integrity of the aircraft.

• Work Stoppage: Work Stoppage will occur during said time a compromise is discovered in structural integrity, corrosion, or any damage thereof.

• Identify and document all observed corrosion, damage, cracks, breaks, holes, bulges, dents, damaged or broken fasteners and receptacles, and loose or missing rivets.

• Inspect aircraft bird-proofing in all vents, nozzles, wheel wells, cowlings, cowl flap areas, intakes, air scoops, and exhausts to determine replacement needs.

• Inspect all landing gear and control surfaces to ensure they are locked and safe.

• Identify any necessary maintenance to be performed to ensure the SDAV is restored to its original manufacturer or operational appearance.

• Identify and seal any openings on doors, panels, emergency openings, and window edges to prevent water intrusion.

• Ensure the SDAV is free from corrosion and properly sealed to prevent further deterioration.

3.2. SDAV Preparation Process:

• Cleaning:

o Prepare and clean the aircraft following T.O. 1-1-691, Cleaning and Corrosion Prevention and Control, Aerospace and Non-Aerospace Equipment.

o Install traps under the aircraft to contain paint and chips for proper disposal.

o Collect paint chips and debris daily (or prior to rain events) and place them into drums for proper disposal.

o Replace all bird proofing and remove any remnants of nests or wildlife.

o Treat all corroded areas in accordance with T.O. 1-1-691.

o Thoroughly clean the exterior of the aircraft fuselage using a high-pressure washer with water only, removing all dirt, debris, carbon, and contaminants.

o Free all fuselage, wing, and empennage drain holes from obstruction during washing.

• Sanding:

o Perform a complete scuff sand of the entire exterior surface of the aircraft using abrasive paper no coarser than 120 grit.

o Remove all oxidized paint and featheredge all flaked paint in accordance with T.O. 1-1-8, Application and Removal of Organic Coating, Aerospace and Non-Aerospace Equipment.

• Repairs & Repair Approvals:

o Perform approved repairs during the preparation process in accordance with T.O.l-lA-1, T.O. l-lA-8, and T.O. 1-1-690.

o Ensure the fabrication of any replacement parts appear exactly as the original parts.

o Repair Approvals: Quality assurance and the 702 MXS commander will be in-charge of all repairs that need to be made to aircraft in staging area.

• Sealing:

o Remove and replace any defective sealant and correct sealant damage resulting from the scuff sanding operation.

o Seal all exposed areas prior to cleaning and painting.

• Securing:

o Secure all landing gear and control surface moving parts.

• Final Cleaning:

o Perform a second cleaning to thoroughly remove all contaminants for an exceptionally clean surface prior to painting.

3.3. Painting Process:

• In-process Verification:

o Primer: MIL-PFR-23377K (Kromate Based) o Topcoat: MIL-PRF-85285E (36118)

• Paint Application:

o The goal of the painting process is to encapsulate the aircraft to prevent corrosion.

o Paint the aircraft to its current paint scheme with all current insignia and markings.

o Take precautionary measures to prevent paint and paint removal waste from contaminating air, water, or soil, and protect surrounding vegetation and construction from debris.

o Treat all bare metal areas against corrosion prior to painting.

o Use Federal Standard 595 colors to exactly match all colors in accordance with T.O. 1-1-4, Exterior Finishes, Insignia and Markings, Applicable to USAF Aircraft.

o Apply all primers and paints using rollers and brushes in accordance with T.O. 1-1-8 to achieve a smooth finish comparable to a spray application.

o Apply paint to a wet mil thickness of 4.0-4.5 mils.

• Markings and Insignia:

o Paint all insignia and markings (e.g., stars and bars, tail number) to the same size, color, and location as they are currently.

o Apply stenciling to the proper location and size.

• Protection:

o Mask off and protect unpainted surfaces (e.g., landing, taxi, navigation, and position lights) from paint overrun.

• Additional Painting:

o Paint engine inlet covers, tires, and landing gear.

o Paint supports structures in their original color.

• Replication:

o Replicate SDAV paint, markings, images, letters, numbers, and colors exactly.
