About this file
This document is a Statement of Need (SoN) for a federal contract opportunity to replace an inoperative torque system and end-of-life wheel build-up stand at the 60th Maintenance Squadron/Wheel & Tire at Travis Air Force Base, California.
The SoN indicates a requirement for a Bauer Model 8071 Wheel Build-Up and Bauer Model 8731 Wheel Assembly Torque System. The new equipment must be able to simultaneously torque two nuts on any given wheel, with an accuracy of 2% at maximum torque and 1 degree of torque angle, and a torque range of 45-225 ft/lbs. The build stand must be able to lift and align wheels with diameters from 16" to 24" and tire diameters from 37" to 50". The contractor shall also provide a wheel lifting fixture and torque standard calibration equipment. Training and a one-year warranty are also required. The estimated delivery and installation timeline is 24 weeks after contract award. The related federal contract opportunity, Solicitation Number FA442724QZ064, is a pre-solicitation for this FY25 requirement.

Statement of Need
For
60 MXS/MXMTA
60th Maintenance Squadron/Wheel & Tire has a requirement to assemble multiple types of aircraft wheels to include C-17, C-5 and KC-46 main and nose wheel assemblies. To perform this task, we use a tilt cylinder wheel build-up stand paired with a twin-spindle torquing system meant for aircraft wheel assemblies. The current torque system is inoperative and requires upgrade due to replacement parts being unavailable. The wheel build-up stand in use has come to its end of life and requires replacement/upgrade. Without these units Wheel & Tire’s production is reduced to 25% of normal operation potentially causing supply chain delay.
