C-17A aircraft (a/C) nose landing gear (NLG)

This requirement is for a firm-fixed price contract with (3) 1 year Options for C-17A AIRCRAFT (A/C) NOSE LANDING GEAR (NLG); NSN: 4920015304625BA; Part Number 17G130484-1. The Basic is for QTY of (1) each (includes first article), Test Plan (1 LO), and Test Report (1 LO). The (3) 1 year Options are based on QTY range of 1-2 each. The nose landing gear (NLG) consists of a single shock strut and associated links, braces, actuators and wheels. Steering of the a/c is provided by rotating the lower portion of the strut that supports the wheel assemblies. There are two actuating cylinder assemblies on the nose gear. The actuating cylinder assemblies are attached to each side of the nose gear steering

collar and nose landing gear strut. The actuating cylinder assemblies convert hydraulic pressure for the nose wheel steering (NWS) control valve into mechanical force for steering the nose wheel. There are two swivel gland assemblies on top of the actuating cylinder. They connect hydraulic lines from the upper swivel glands to the NLG actuating cylinders. The swivel gland allows the steering actuators to move without bending or twisting the hydraulic lines.
