The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research for remanufacturing F108-201 main fuel pumps. - Government buyer: Department of the Air Force, including the Air Force Materiel Command and Air Force Sustainment Center. The requirement is associated with the 421st and 422nd Supply Chain Management Squadrons at Tinker Air Force Base, with AFLCMC/LPSDB involvement; the Propulsion Sustainment Division’s Engineering Support Activity handles source qualification. - Requirement: Remanufacture the F108-201 Main Fuel Pump, NSN 2915-01-241-9239PN. The market-research notice estimates 13 units per year for P/N 301-779-103-0. The SOW also identifies input P/Ns 708400-1 through 708400-5, corresponding to 301-779-101-0 through 301-779-105-0, and authorizes output P/N 708400-5 (301-779-105-0). - Work and support: Receive, inspect, disassemble, clean, test, repair/remanufacture, preserve, package, and ship pumps, targeting like-new condition or near-original life expectancy. Associated work includes labor, materials, facilities, equipment, quality assurance, logistics, supply-chain management, parts forecasting and procurement, reparable forecasting, and obsolescence management. - Notable technical requirements: Maintain an FAA Part 145-rated facility capable of remanufacturing CFM56-2B engine components; follow applicable component maintenance procedures, technical revisions, service bulletins, and airworthiness directives; provide airworthiness and acceptance documentation, including FAA Form 8130-3 and DD Form 1574; and meet reporting and packaging requirements. The government states it does not have the associated technical data. - Source qualification: The attached qualification requirements describe Source Approval Requests for propulsion Critical Safety Items and Critical Application Items. Approval may require technical and repair data, supplier and industrial-process information, and a repair demonstration. Approval periods are three years for Critical Safety Items and seven years for Critical Application Items, with renewal and change-review requirements. - OEMs and vendors: No commercial OEM, manufacturer, or vendor is identified by name. CFM56-2B is an engine model designation, not a named vendor. - Opportunity status: This is market research and sources-sought information, not a solicitation or award. The government is assessing potential sources and competition approaches.
