K -- MODIFICATION, ALTERATION, AND/OR REBUILDING OF EQUIPMENT -POTENTIAL SOURCES SOUGHT A source seeking synopsis is being conducted for the following requirement. The Air Force is planning to replace the current latrines on the KC-135 fleet. The planned modification will replace the existing latrine using a commercial airline type externally serviced latrine. The desired latrine should have sufficient capacity to handle twenty-eight people for eight hours without servicing. If not possible, identify maximum capacity in terms of number of people and hours. The waste tank will ideally, fit under the commode receptacle (approximate floor space is 20 inches by thirty-six inches with some space used for battery storage). Due to construction techniques of the KC-135, a below-floor holding tank is not considered practical, although one may be considered by the Air Force. The installation must be designed to minimize leaks, and if possible, have a secondary barriers to prevent latrine leaks from reaching aircraft structure. The Air Force will contract competitively for the engineering design, reprocurement data, fabrication and delivery of all Group ``A'' kits (to include wiring, service receptacles, and permanent plumbing) and for Group ``B'' kits (to include the commode, pumps, and holding tank). Installation of the kits will be accomplished by the Air Force. On-site surveys of actual aircraft may be required. The contractor will be required to write the Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO), accomplish stress analysis to verify structural acceptability of the installation, provide source data for changes to maintenance manuals and related technical orders (T.O.) (to include final incorporation resulting from this modification). Interested sources should express their interest in writing to OCALC/CR; Attn: Ken Thomason; 8745 Entrance Road A; Tinker AFB, OK 73145; FAX 405-736-5983. (349)
