The Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OC-ALC), Tinker AFB, OK plans to compete the T-1A CLS contract, for the first time since the initial acquisition contract(s) for the T-1A Training System, consisting of 180 aircraft, aircrew training devices, courseware, and associated CLS, were awarded in 1990. The Air Force is currently evaluating several options designed to enhance competition of qualified sources for providing logistics support for the T-1A aircraft, and requests industry review and comment. The T-1A is used by the Air Education Training Command (AETC) for specialized advanced training of undergraduate pilots destined for tanker and transport aircraft. The aircraft are currently located at five AETC bases; Reese, Randolph, Laughlin, Vance and Columbus. Aircraft deliveries are scheduled to continue through May of 1997. The T-1A Jayhawk, designated Beechjet 400T, is similar to the 400A corporate transport. The flight deck is configured for a student in the left seat, an instructor in the right seat, and another student to the rear. Structural enhancements provide for a large number of landings per flight hour, increased birdstike resistance, and an additional fuselage fuel tank with single point refueling capability. Avionics include a five-tube Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS), turbulence detection radar, digital autopilot, tactical air navigation with air-to-air capability, and a central diagnostics and maintenance system. Power plant includes two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5B turbofans; each with 2,900 lbs. thrust. The current CLS contract consists of a basic and nine one year Firm Fixed Price (FFP) options, which continues through 1999. Contractor logistics support furnished under the current contract requires the logistics support contractor to establish a contractor operated and managed base supply which provides a range and depth of contractor furnished spares, both repairable and expendable, and quantity of support equipment to support the T-1A at each operating bas. The contract requires management of base operations including furnishing factory representatives for airframe, avionics, and engines.
