THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED:

. M :

Tambourine type engine cover. Double fold, R-model CFM56 covers. 4 covers in a set and includes storage bags. These covers will be used to protect the four (4) CFM56 Turbofan Engines on the KC135R from Foreign Object Damage (FOD), inclement weather and prevent animals from entering and nesting in the engine during aircraft down time, which can cause catastrophic damage engine/aircraft during engine start

Double fold of the engine cover makes it space savings during transportation and storage on aircraft and in store room due to limited space. This 7ft cover folds to 1/4 its size. Unlike other covers which requires 2 -3 person to install and blows off in a high wind environment, these covers can be installed by one (1) person, provides a snug fit and will not blow off providing maximum protection to protect each of the $10M engines

Other similar items were researched through online and vendor communications. No other product were found to provide the maximum space saving characteristics
