The offeror's facility shall be a FAA Part 145 authorized repair station as well as a Honeywell certified engine overhaul/repair facility to effectively inspect, test, troubleshoot, clean, overhaul, repair, and preserve Honeywell T53-L-703 engine power units, modules, and components to current OEM configurations while maintaining any INL/A identified specific requirements for return to service in a Ready For Issue (RFI) condition for operational use. Additionally, since Honeywell no longer manufactures new T53 engines, the offeror shall have the capability to convert United States Government (USG) furnished T53-L-13B and military T53-L-703 engines to the most current T53-L-703 OEM specifications.
