Full Description

Show more
Updated 9 March 2023: For all concerned the USAF has updated RFI FA8609-2020-03 acquisition of "Palletized Seats for the KC-46 platform." The last RFI was in 2020 and in order to ensure the USAF is collecting current information this is an updated request for information; additionally the initial requirements have changed slightly with the inclusion of a need for limited "Interim Contractor Support" (ICS). The KC-46 palletized seating program consists of two (2) pallet types: a 10-seat and a 12-seat pallet. The primary seat pallet requirement is to transport Unit Type Code (UTC) packages for organic deployments. Secondary use will be to transport military duty passengers, ambulatory patients, and space-available passengers. Each seat will have the storage capacity for required prepositioned Aircrew Flight Equipment (AFE), e.g. Emergency Passenger Oxygen System (EPOS) and Life Preserver Units (LPUs). Small hand carried personal baggage may be stored underneath the seats. This effort is to build palletized seating systems to accommodate passenger carriage in KC-46 aircraft in both 10-seat and 12-seat configurations.
