FRCASE MRO Maintenance StrategyThe Fleet Readiness Center (FRCASE) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to explore transitioning its aviation support equipment maintenance program from an unscheduled, condition-based overhaul model to a scheduled Planned Maintenance Interval (PMI) approach. This RFI serves strictly for information gathering and market research purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment by the Government. It aims to collect industry insights on the potential impacts, benefits, and challenges of adopting a PMI model, focusing on how this change might affect lifecycle costs, spare parts inventory management, labor planning, maintenance turnaround times, equipment reliability, and overall fleet readiness. The Government also seeks recommendations on suitable contract structures and performance metrics to support this transition effectively. The RFI requests detailed feedback on topics such as cost predictability, scheduling efficiency, maintenance quality, and implementation challenges, including how to phase in scheduled maintenance without disrupting current operations. Specific technical questions address maintenance intervals for certain equipment, logistics support, warranty coverage, and quality assurance standards. Responses must be submitted electronically by June 30, 2026, and should not exceed ten pages. The Government emphasizes that no funds are available for response preparation, all submissions remain confidential if marked proprietary, and no direct solicitation will follow solely based on this RFI. Interested parties are encouraged to monitor official Government procurement platforms for any future solicitations related to this initiative.
