Description

The PDM program includes a competitive award of PDM for two aircraft and a priced option for a third as well as engineering support for establishment of a TuAF depot overseas and training of TuAF personnel in technical and process skills. The Government anticipates a single competition resulting in two linked award instruments to the winning contractor. The first award instrument will be a contract for PDM and engineering support issued by OC-ALC. The second instrument will be a contract for training issued by the Air Force Security Assistance Training (AFSAT) center. PDM will include but not be limited to non- destructive inspection, main landing gear, engine strut and vertical stabilizer removal and installation, fuel cell and bladder repair, major structural repairs, corrosion control and full aircraft painting. Necessary capabilities are fabrication of numerous materials (metal and non-metal), jet engine support, engine run area and flight-testing. The Turkish PDM workload will be accomplished according to the current USAF KC-135R work specifications. Current Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTOs) and Aircraft Mission Modifications will be accomplished. This excludes organizational level modifications. The contractor will be required to provide planning data prior to first aircraft input and support equipment sufficient to perform to the required schedule. Engineering support will include but not be limited to one professional (Boeing Liaison Qualified) engineer posted at the TuAF depot site in Turkey for a two year period.
