CAUTION:

The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the repair data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements to procure an Aircraft Generator Test Stand (ATGS) and components. This specification covers replacement of obsolete aircraft generator test stands (AGTS) with revamped assets of the 400 cycle, alternating current (AC) aircraft generator and constant speed drive test stand, (Legacy K400B, K738XL/K400B-XL, MC-2000). The level of security clearance and amount of foreign participation in this requirement has not been determined.

AMSC/AMC code is 3/R (MC2000 Legacy), 3/H (K400 Legacy).

The Government owns the Technical Data Package for the legacy system. The Government has determined that this system is not a commercial item.

Technical Data Package is available for evaluation.

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. Contractor furnished material or parts used for replacement shall equal or exceed the quality of the original material or parts.

Currently AVTRON is the only company to supply proposal. (Cage Code 01014.)
