About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for Air Force contract FA448626Q0004, issued in May 2026, regarding maintenance and inspection services for the MAFT (Mobile Air Force Trainer) system.
The contract represents a re-acquisition of existing services previously performed under contract FA448622P0002. Service reports, inspection reports, and repair history documentation are available to interested vendors upon direct email request to the Contracting Points of Contact. The Government will provide operator manuals for the MAFT, generator, and air compressor prior to contractor arrival to ensure proper tools and equipment are available for inspections. The MAFT training equipment has been determined to be stationary and no longer mobile, therefore DOT road worthiness inspections are not required. The Butane Tank trailer hydrostatic testing and safety valve checks are not included in this contract scope and will be addressed under separate work statement. The Government does not provide a predetermined list of spare parts; instead, contractors are expected to maintain tools, metal piping, and supplies on-site following their initial inspection to enable prompt maintenance and minor repairs while minimizing equipment downtime between scheduled inspections.
