Description

RVSM Skin Contour Certification Services for Basic and Options I & II:

The contractor shall certify the two OC-135B aircraft as RVSM compliant and provide a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Certification Package. Included in the FAA RVSM Certification Package is the requirement to accomplish a skin waviness measurement test every two years or every 1,000 hours of flight, whichever, occurs last and update is existing equipment list. This requirement is necessary as the skin of the aircraft around the flush mounted static airports determines the installation errors and eventually, the altitude of the aircraft in RVSM airspace (29K to 42K feet). This inspection will be accomplished at Offutt AFB, NE.

Optional Engineering Evaluation for Elimination of periodic 24-Month skin waviness inspections:

Perform the preliminary evaluation to determine if current and past skin waviness data will substantiate elimination of future 24-month skin waviness inspections. Both aircraft will be available at Offutt AFB and two or more USAF personnel will be available to assist with the skin mapping. Contractor will perform the data evaluation and provide any travel related costs.

Estimated Contract Award Date: 28 September 2017

Estimated periods of performance:
