Place of performance is Hill Air Force Base, Utah (7981 Georgia St, Hill AFB, UT 84056). This is an unrestricted acquisition with NAICS code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC J016 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Aircraft Components and Accessories).

Offerors must demonstrate current or previous U.S. Government contract repair/overhaul experience with identified parts. Performance requirements include beginning teardown test and evaluation within 45 days of award; providing cost proposals within 45 days of part receipt; completing repairs within 120 days; maintaining a 90 percent rework-free rate; and meeting AS9110 certification or equivalent quality management standards. Critical Safety Items require 100 percent inspection per Aviation Critical Safety Item Management Handbook and AFI 20-106.

Evaluation weighs Technical Approach (four subfactors: Qualified Repair Source, Ramp-up Timeline/Schedule, Technical Ability, and Supply Discrepancy Reporting Process) as significantly more important than Price, with Price contributing substantially. Technical ratings for subfactors 2–4 range from Outstanding (Blue) to Unacceptable (Red) with corresponding risk assessments. Subfactor 1 uses Acceptable/Unacceptable only. The government intends award without discussions. No Government Furnished Property will be provided.
