SOURCE PRE-QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

RMSC C: This part requires engineering source approval by the control activity to assure the integrity of the part. Alternative sources must pre-qualify by submitting a Source Approval Request (SAR) according to the design control activity’s procedures outlined in AFMCI 23-113 and receive approval from the applicable government engineering activity, AFLCMC/WIUED, the Systems and Integrity Section.

SECTION A: ITEM IDENTIFICATION

Below listed item can be Overhauled and Repaired by the same contractor:

Stock Number (NSN) Part Number Nomenclature Tech Order 1615-00-204-6973 204-011-401-19 Scissors and Sleeve Assy 3R20-2-2

SECTION B: JUSTIFICATION FOR ESTABLISHING A QUALIFICATION

REQUIREMENT

The Scissors and Sleeve Assembly (P/N 204-011-401-19) attaches to the swashplate inner ring with two drive links. Each drive link is attached to a common hub. The hub is mounted through bearings to the sleeve. This enables the sleeve to remain stationary while the hub scissors, drive links and swashplate inner ring are driven with the mast by a spline plate mounted on the hub. The collective lever attaches to the lower end of the sleeve. Collective motion is that produced when the sleeve is displaced by the collective lever. Cyclic motion is that produced when the swashplate is tilted. Input of either cyclic or collective control results in movement of the scissors and sleeve assembly. This item is a Critical Safety Item (CSI) with catastrophic failure consequences. This item is identified as a Flight Safety Part on the drawing, with multiple critical characteristics identified. Failure of any of these dynamic components could result in the loss of aircraft, severe injury or loss of life.

Sources must have quality procedures and processes to insure that each item is in compliance with the drawing. Outstanding quality and thoroughness of the overhaul and repair is required.

The overhaul of these components will require the contractor to conduct inspection/functional checkout and disassembly/assembly to restore them to a serviceable condition end item that shall efficiently serve their intended purpose using the USAF Overhaul and Repair technical manuals listed in Section A above. Therefore, repair and overhaul sources must qualify in accordance with the appropriate Government engineering activity, AFLCMC/WIUED engineering office, Robins AFB, GA. AF T.O. 3R20-2-2 provides essential information to accomplish repair and maintenance functions on the Scissors and Sleeve Assembly.

SECTION C: Pre-QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

The Government owns all the technical data required to repair and test the Scissors and Sleeve Assy.

In order to evaluate capabilities you are encouraged to provide the following information relative to this component.

Source approval information: Listed below are the minimum requirements necessary to become a qualified bidder on the equipment listed above. The repair and overhaul of these dynamic components will require the restoration of the unserviceable assets to serviceable condition using USAF overhaul and repair technical orders. The extent of overhaul or repair work required shall be determined by the initial inspection/functional checkout and the disassembly/assembly required in order to restore these items to a serviceable condition end item if being overhauled, or required to return these items to a serviceable end item if being repaired, that shall efficiently serve their intended purpose. The Government will not provide an asset for repair in the pre-qualification process.

1. Potential bidders shall provide a summary of the company’s capabilities, including a detailed factory layout, a list of the machinery, fixtures, tooling and test and inspection equipment. At a minimum, vendors will be required to have the special tooling and the special test equipment called out in T.O.’s listed below:

Technical Order Noun Special Tools and Test Equipment 3R20-2-2 Scissors and Sleeve Assy Listed in TO 3R20-2-2 The summary shall demonstrate that the company has the required facilities and equipment to repair, inspect, test, package, ship and store the item. The contractor shall furnish all material, support equipment, tools, test equipment and services. The contractor is responsible for providing, maintaining and calibrating all support equipment required at their facility or a subcontractor’s facility.

Alternates to the special tooling and/or test equipment may be used, provided the potential bidder can demonstrate that they have an equivalent piece of equipment that can accomplish the same task without damage to the components. Alternate tools/equipment must be identified by part number and potential bidders must specify by part number which piece of equipment the alternate is replacing. Alternate tools/equipment must receive approval from the applicable government engineering activity, AFLCMC/WIUED, before such tools/equipment is used to overhaul/repair any flight safety critical components.

2. Potential bidders shall demonstrate the ability and have experience in repair and overhaul of similar critical safety of flight dynamic components, which are currently in use on commercial or military helicopters. Potential bidders shall provide the following information on the similar items:

a. Contract Number

b. Procuring Agency

c. Contract Value

d. Number of assets shipped

e. Aircraft similar item is used on

f. Part number, stock number, nomenclature and drawing of similar item

3. Potential bidders shall provide a detailed quality plan implementing ISO 9002 (or equivalent).

4. Potential bidders shall provide a detailed repair and a detailed overhaul plan describing repair, overhaul and inspection procedures and shall provide for:

a. Traceability of batch/lot for repaired / overhauled material

b. Identification of material sources. Sources for raw materials must be documented for each type of material. No material waivers will be granted.

c. Identification of sources for process not done in house shall be documented.

5. Potential bidders shall perform a minimum of 75% of the repair and overhaul workload in-house. Testing shall not be sub-contracted to a third party facility.

6. After qualification the repair and overhaul plan processes, vendor sources, quality procedures etc. shall not be changed without the approval of AFLCMC/WIUED, obtained through the contracting officer.

7. Potential bidders shall provide a sub-vendor qualification and quality assurance process to ensure conformance to requirements on work performed by subcontractors.

8. Potential bidders must show compliance with Unique Identification requirement in accordance with DFARS 211.274-2, DFARS 252-211.7003, and Military Standard (MIL- STD)-130N, Department of Defense Standard Practice/Identification Marking of U.S. Military Property.

9. This qualification process shall be waived for companies who have already passed pre-qualification within 3 years for CSI.

10. The Air Force may not qualify potential bidders who have had quality problems when delivering similar or identical items to the government. Potential bidders who have produced similar items for the commercial market shall also be considered for qualification and shall provide commercial brochures and at least five

(5) references with phone numbers. Potential bidders shall be ISO 9001:2008 certified.

11. Potential bidders shall provide brochures and literature providing insight into plant, facilities, special tooling, support/test equipment along with industry certifications.
