Statement of Need for ForceTec Tooling
Description: The 60MXS Fabrication Flight is requesting to procure additional ForceTec tooling to support C-5, C-17, and KC-46 aircraft assigned to Travis AFB. Currently, we have one ForceTec tooling kit on hand, but we need additional kits to ensure uninterrupted maintenance operations and to provide a spare kit in case one needs to be taken off-site.
The ForceTec tooling is a vital component in our maintenance operations, specifically designed for installing ForceTec hardware, including nut plates, on aircraft such as the C-5M, C-17, and KC-46. The ForceTec nut plate system is installed using the ForceTec tooling, which radially expands the nut plate retainer barrel into the hole, creating a high interference fit between the barrel and the structure, while also cold expanding the fastener hole in the parent structure.
As per Technical Orders T.O 1C-M-3 Para 1.21.62.5 and T.O 1C-17A-3-1 Table 4-3, the installation of ForceTec nut plates requires the use of ForceTec tooling. The quote provided includes all the necessary components to create a complete ForceTec kit, as there is no standard, pre-configured kit available. The tailored quote ensures that we receive all the required items to support our maintenance operations and meet the requirements of our aircraft fleet
The contractor shall provide the following:
1. Equipment: Brand/Model Number – Fatigue Tech (FTI)/ ForceTec tooling
