SOURCES SOUGHT – Torque System at Travis AFB, CA FA442722QZ064

60th Contracting Squadron Travis AFB, CA Submitted 8 August 2024 Responses Due: 22 August 2024, 12:00 PM Pacific Time

REQUIREMENT

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, they 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. More Information can be referenced in the attached Statement of Need. The anticipated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this requirement is 336413 - Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing.
