F-15 ENGINEERING TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Robins AFB, GA

PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION

The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements to provide engineering advisory and assistance services for the F-15 Engineering and Technical Analysis (ETA) effort.

The purpose of the F-15 Engineering and Technical Analysis effort is for three specific task areas, all combined into one contract. (1) The first task is to support F-15's portion of AutoTAR (or the current 107 System of Record (107 SOR)). The AFLCMC/WAQE has F-15s at about 20 locations all over the world, AFLCMC/WAQE uses the AutoTAR system to address technical assistance for the warfighters. AutoTAR includes Maintenance Assistance Requests (MARs) and Technical Assistance Requests (TARs) in order to streamline the requests that do not need production's coordination or money. MARs are used when the unit needs a solution that requires a depot field team or depot tooling shipped to their location. TARs are used when the unit only needs engineering and/or technical guidance. (2) The second task is to provide integration, design and/or re-design and sustaining engineering support for avionics modification efforts currently ongoing and planned. (3) The third task is documenting repairs and damage for engineers to utilize when designing repairs and doing analysis. The Wing and Fuselage Repair Data Collection will ensure that inspections are done correctly and that AFLCMC/WAQE engineers have electronic access to the data.
