KC-46 Landing Gear PBL

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, "KC-46 LG PBL NSN List.xlsx", is an Excel spreadsheet containing a list of National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and associated part information for KC-46 Landing Gear (LG) components. It appears to be a reference list for parts related to the KC-46 aircraft's main landing gear (MLG) and nose landing gear (NLG).

• Sheet: KC-46 LG PBL NSN LIST: Details various sub-components for both Left Hand (LH) and Right Hand (RH) MLG, as well as NLG sub-components. Includes NSN, NIIN, Noun (IPC), Noun description, and Part Number (PN).
• Sheet: GFM: Lists Government Furnished Material (GFM) for MLG and NLG sub-components, largely mirroring the "KC-46 LG PBL NSN LIST" sheet.
• Sheet: O&A PARTS: Identifies Over and Above (O&A) replacement parts for MLG and NLG sub-components, including specific cylinder and beam assemblies.

This list is crucial for bidders to identify specific parts, their associated NSNs and part numbers, and their classification (e.g., GFM, O&A). This information is essential for understanding the exact components required for maintenance, repair, or overhaul (MRO) activities related to the KC-46 landing gear, and for accurately pricing proposals or fulfilling contractual obligations.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document summarizes pre-solicitation meeting questions and action items related to the KC-46 LG PBL (Programmed Logistics Base) opportunity. It addresses vendor inquiries and outlines government actions and decisions.

• Tier 1 Status & Boeing Support: The Air Force is not considered a "tiered customer" like commercial entities. Proposals should not assume free or reduced-cost technical support from the OEM (Boeing). Direct technical requests to Boeing outside of CMMs are currently allowed, pending formal documentation.
• Incident-Related Work: A mechanism has been established for shipset overhaul/support outside standard TCI requirements. Three new CLINs have been added to independently fund and support these additional requirements. "Incident Related Work" is defined as parts requiring repair/replacement due to documented damage from mishaps or hard landings, to be covered under O&A CLINs.
• GFM (Government Furnished Material): GFM will be provided as a last resort if an asset scraps or cannot be repaired, with costs reconciled from the FFP. There is a handling/administrative cost for GFM use.
• Shipset Overhaul & Turnaround Time (RTAT): The shipset metric is set at 75 days for repair plus 7 days for shipping (total 82 days), starting upon receipt at the contractor's facility. For sub-components, while not incentivized, a disincentive is applied to drive RTAT, with a minimum delivery of 25% of the quantity on order within RTAT, followed by additional 25% every 30 days.
• IUID Requirement: The contractor must follow instructions in Appendix A, Section 9.0 of the TRD for specific IUID requirements.
• H0002 Clause (CMM Adjustment): The H0002 clause has been updated to allow a 60-day timeframe for CMM adjustment after contractor receives CMMs. To justify increased component costs due to CMM differences, contractors must provide detailed comparisons, quantified cost breakdowns, causal link evidence, official certification, and proof of a 5% cost increase.
• Proposal Submission: Late proposals will be handled per FAR 15.208. Questions during the RFP process are encouraged and will be consolidated and issued via amendment to ensure fairness.

This document clarifies key aspects of the upcoming solicitation, including technical support, handling of incident-related repairs, GFM procedures, performance metrics, and proposal submission guidelines. It aims to remove ambiguity and provide a clearer understanding of requirements for potential bidders.
