About this file
This document is a set of clarification questions and answers from an Industry Day event related to the F117 Engine Sustainment Support (ESS) Second Industry Day federal contract opportunity.
The key details are:
- The current MTBR (Mean Time Between Removals) is 5386 hours, which is less than the goal of 5500 hours. The 5500 hour MTBR will be a threshold that the new vendor must meet.
- The Air Force is preemptively looking at a production rate of 10 engines per month, with a variance of +/- 2, and a surge capacity of up to 15 engines per month. These production numbers will be determined and agreed upon annually.
- The Air Force is open to industry feedback on whether they will need to take over EMUS (Engine Monitoring Unit Software) and system safety analysis.
- The Air Force is considering whether to release a draft RFP (Request for Proposal) and PWS (Performance Work Statement) to gather additional industry feedback prior to the final solicitation.

Industry Day 2 Question Clarification Question: How far away are we from our MTBR goal versus where it is today?
Answer: The current MTBR is 5386 hours, which is less than the goal of 5500 hours. The ID 2 MTBR of 5500 hours is a threshold that we would hold the new vendor accountable.
Question: Do we want to surge 13+ engines per month? Is a surge capacity of 15 engines per month normal.
Answer: The USAF is preemptively looking at a production rate of about 10/month once we are at full operational capacity with a variance of +/-2. This exact number will be determined yearly based on our SPS forecast. There should also be a plan in place for short term surge capacity of up to 15 engines per month. SPS tolerances will vary from year to year based on the number of planned flight hours, mission requirements, and location. This number will be agreed upon between the vendor and USAF prior to an upcoming fiscal year.
Question: Will industry be expected to take over EMUS and system safety analysis?
Answer: USAF is open to all inputs regarding the needs industry will have in reference to USAF and the OEM so that USAF can plan accordingly.
Question: Is there going to be a draft RFP/PWS release?
Answer: USAF understands that this information will be relevant to industry going forward and is weighing if a secondary RFI will be needed to clarify information that is worked into the RFP and PWS.
