T-38 Accessory Drive Gearbox Remanufacture and Repair Qualification

The Department of the Air Force is seeking sources for remanufacturing and repair qualification of T-38 accessory drive gearboxes. - Government buyer - Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC), at Hill Air Force Base. - The notice office is AFSC OL-H/PZACB Secondary Power; the SOW identifies Ogden Air Logistics Complex (OO-ALC), and the qualification requirements identify 419 SCMS/GUEA. - The sources-sought notice names Brooks Poll as the point of contact. - OEMs and vendors - No OEM or contractor/vendor is named in the provided materials. The gearbox manufacturer is not identified. - Products and quantities - Estimated remanufacture quantity: 20 T-38 Accessory Drive Gearboxes, NSN 1680-01-440-5106; the Government anticipates furnishing unserviceable gearbox carcasses. The SOW identifies NSN 1680-01-440-5106RP, P/N 14-51100-501/-503. - The SOW also identifies 20 Government-furnished gearboxes for overhaul, one A-condition gearbox for test validation, and three F-condition gearboxes for Initial Production Evaluation (IPE). These are SOW asset quantities and may overlap with the estimated 20-unit requirement. - One A-condition oil pump, NSN 4320-01-426-4367, P/N 3-51251-1, is identified for test validation. - The repair qualification document covers Aircraft Gearbox Assembly NSNs 1680-01-440-5106, 1680-00-139-8020, and 1680-00-739-8339, and identifies P/Ns 14-51100-503, 14-51100-3, and 3-51100-5. Qualification-document quantities are not specified. - Requested work and notable requirements - Teardown, cleaning, inspection, condition reporting, testing, baseline overhaul/remanufacture, and return of serviceable gearboxes. - Pre-priced over-and-above repairs may be required for defects found after teardown; first-article testing may also be required. - Develop and validate test equipment for oil-pump flow, governor leak rate, sprag and disk clutch lock-up, and static and dynamic gearbox tests. Required support includes equipment documentation, calibration and repeatability results, and test reporting. - Complete IPE using three F-condition gearboxes, provide test data, and resolve inspection findings. - Repair-source qualification includes verification of facilities and technical data, documented repair processes, qualification and correlation testing, and demonstration of repair capability. Estimated qualification cost is $5,400, with an estimated 365-day completion time. - Deliveries are estimated to begin three months after award, followed by five units per month until the estimated 20-unit quantity is complete. The SOW also specifies milestone periods for support-equipment reporting, IPE, and technical data deliverables.
