Section 2.2.1.7 states the design should not require that any leg of any aircraft jack be in any specific orientation when installed on the aircraft in order to get the work stand sections fitted to the aircraft and allow for jacks to be added or removed when necessary. This feature was not visible on the site visit set. If required on this stand set, how are the stands interchangeable as stated in the Statement of Work #MXDEB‐SOW‐002‐JK, Section 1.2?

Stand legs will be oriented and constructed in a way that will not interfere with aircraft jacks when installed. The existing set of stands are required to be installed around the aircraft in a specific order and in some cases have to be maneuvered awkwardly around aircraft jacks. This increases risk of equipment damage and employee injury due to the location of aircraft jacks and location of stand legs. Stands can still be interchangeable with existing stands if the working surface shape is compatible and will mate to the new stands. Aircraft stands do not interlock, rather, are parked next to each other to where working surface is uninterrupted. The government will revise SPECS and
