About this file
This is a Questions and Responses document for the Scott AFB Static Display Aircraft Restoration solicitation (FA440726QSK01) issued by the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command. The document addresses seven key inquiries regarding project scope, constraints, and material specifications for aircraft nose section stripping and repainting work.
Performance must initiate prior to September 30, 2026 to satisfy Bona Fide Need requirements for FY26, with no specified hard completion date. The contractor may work on multiple aircraft simultaneously without sequencing restrictions. Aircraft will be accessible via existing walkways for aerial lift equipment. Regarding hazardous materials, while lead-based paint or other regulated substances are likely absent, the Federal EPA will verify that any removed paint collection and disposal procedures comply with environmental regulations. For coating systems, the contractor may use either the specified Sherwin-Williams CM0724400 primer with PPG PITTHANE ULTRA DOT 95-812 topcoat or an equivalent single-manufacturer system, provided the topcoat is a urethane-based paint rated for year-round four-season sunlight exposure. Aircraft washing must utilize Simple Green Aircraft Cleaner or similar environmentally safe aircraft soap to eliminate the need for offsite wash water disposal. The government indicated it does not have readily available aircraft dimensions or nose section square footage, suggesting contractors research specifications independently based on aircraft type.

Sheet1
| No. | Question | Response |
| 1 | What is the required completion date for all work? The solicitation states that performance must begin prior to September 30, 2026 but does not specify a hard completion date. | In order to meet Bona Fide Need for FY26, work must initiate during that same FY. |
| 2 | How many aircraft can be worked simultaneously or does the Government require the work to be sequenced? | No limit on number of aircraft that can be worked simultaneously |
| 3 | Are any of the existing paint or materials on the aircraft hazardous, including lead-based paint or other regulated substances that would require special handling, containment, or disposal procedures? | Unknown but most likely no. Federal EPA on site will verify collection and disposal plan meets regulations for removed paint. |
| 4 | Can the Government provide the dimensions of each aircraft and the approximate square footage of the nose sections requiring stripping and repainting? | I don't know how to do this but pretty sure they can google the aircraft type and find it. |
| 5 | Will the aircraft be accessible with aerial lift equipment through the walkways currently in place for visitor traffic? | Yes |
| 6 | Does the wash water generated during the aircraft washing scope need to be collected and disposed of offsite or is it permissible to allow it to drain on site? | SOW states to use Simple Green Aircraft Cleaner or a similiar envioronmentally safe aircraft soap to prevent the need for this. |
| 7 | The Statement of Work specifies Sherwin-Williams CM0724400 as the primer and PPG PITTHANE ULTRA DOT 95-812 as the topcoat. These are products from competing manufacturers whose systems are not designed to be intermingled. Please advise which coating system is to be utilized or whether an equivalent single-manufacturer system is acceptable. | SOW authorizes or equivalent, the priority is the top coat be urethane paint rated for direct year round 4 season sunlight |
