NDT Procedure Development for Aircraft Systems

The contract entails the development of detailed, digitized Non-Destructive Testing procedures for up to 51 inspection tasks on the KC-46A aircraft, requiring strict adherence to U.S. Air Force technical orders and Boeing-established standards. The work must produce fully compliant, electronically accessible NDT procedures suitable for field use by maintenance and inspection personnel, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and regulatory compliance across the aircraft's systems. All procedures must be engineered to support operational readiness while integrating seamlessly with existing maintenance workflows and digital reporting platforms used by the Air Force. Performance is required at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, with a response deadline of July 27, 2026, and the solicitation is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541380 for engineering services. The contracting activity falls under the Department of Defense, specifically the FA8609 Aflcmc Wlck KC46 office, indicating this effort is critical to sustaining the KC-46A fleet’s mission readiness. The digitized nature of the deliverables emphasizes modernization goals, requiring formats that support easy retrieval, updating, and use in mobile or cockpit-accessible systems, with an expectation of high-quality documentation that meets military aviation safety and precision standards.
