C-5 Aft Cargo Center Door (Left & Right) Repairs

The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the expertise, capabilities, facilities, equipment, and experience to repair the C-5 Aft Cargo Center Door – both left and right sides.

The Government has a requirement for repair of 1 each Left Side and 1 each Right Side. This is a one-time repair contract, and additional quantities are not expected to be required for at least two years.

NSN 1560012966316

The Left Side door is assigned an RMC/RMSC of R1/G.

RMC R1 - Suitable for competitive repair for the second or subsequent time.

RMSC G. The Government has rights to the technical data, the data package is complete, and there are no technical data, engineering, tooling or repair restrictions. This is the only RMSC that implies that parts are candidates for full and open competition.

NSN 1560012979975

The Right Side door is assigned an RMC/RMSC of R2/G RMC R2 - Suitable for competitive repair for the first time.

RMSC G. The Government has rights to the technical data, the data package is complete, and there are no technical data, engineering, tooling or repair restrictions. This is the only RMSC that implies that parts are candidates for full and open competition.

NOTE: Although the RMC/RMSC data indicates competitive repair, the Government’s requirement is for the repair of doors that have already been through Test, Teardown, and Evaluation (TT&E) on an existing contract. The Government intends to award a follow-on contract for repairs to the TT&E source for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements.

Samples are not available to furnish to any other source due to extremely limited on-hand parts.

These doors are only installed on two aircraft.

Contractor shall furnish all material, support equipment, tools, test equipment, and services. The contractor is responsible for providing, maintaining, and calibrating all support equipment required at their facility or a subcontractor’s facility. Contractor furnished material or parts used for replacement shall equal or exceed the quality of the original material or parts.

The known sole source for this effort is ES3, Inc.
