About this file
This file contains Questions and Answers from an Industry Day for the T56 Series 3.0/-15 and 3.5/-15A Joint Follow-on Contract (FA812126R0010), a competitive Multiple Award IDIQ contract for T56 engine repair and overhaul services. The solicitation closes May 22, 2026 at 3:00 PM CDT and covers a 10-year period of performance (1 five-year basic with 1 five-year option) supporting United States Air Force, United States Navy, and Foreign Military Sales customers. To be eligible for award, contractors must obtain SAR (Source Approval Request) approval and Rolls Royce certification; the Government is not obligated to delay award pending SAR completion. Task orders will be awarded based on requirements and complexity rather than a fixed split formula, and contractors must propose on all FONs (Funding Opportunity Notices) for which they are eligible or risk removal from the program. All work must be performed by SAR-approved, Rolls Royce-certified contractors; work location is not restricted to CONUS. Contractors must use only new and unused parts from Government-approved sources, OEM, or authorized distributors with no used or reclaimed material permitted. Key compliance requirements include Service Contract Act rates, Level 2 NIST scoring with DCMA compliance verification, wall-to-wall inventory management per USAF requirements, Commercial Asset Visibility reporting for Navy material, and submission of Supply Chain Risk Management Plans within 15 days of award. Additional requirements include First Article Inspections per PWS 1.2.1, database access within 45 days of award, a 20 percent surge capacity, phase-out plans per PWS 1.17, and completion of SCRM documentation and post-award conference as minimum obligations for on-ramped contractors.
