The Department of Defense, specifically the AFSC OL-H PZACB at Hill Air Force Base, is seeking sources for the essential overhaul and remanufacture of T-38 Accessory Drive Gearboxes (NSN: 1680-01-440-5106). The objective is to restore approximately 20 assets to a serviceable A condition over a one-year duration, with an estimated award date of May 2027. The scope of work includes complete teardown, build-up, and testing in accordance with Technical Orders 16G1-102-3 and 7J4-2-34-3. The government will provide unserviceable carcasses as Government Furnished Property, while the contractor is responsible for establishing its own supply chain for all parts, ensuring that all sub-components for Critical Safety Items are obtained from government-approved sources. The contract structure includes several CLINs covering teardown, baseline remanufacture, over-and-above unplanned repairs per DFARS 252.217-7028, first article testing, and data deliverables. Key requirements include the possession of a calibrated dynamic test bench for full-load and speed acceptance testing and compliance with FAR 52.245-1 for property management. For small business set-asides under NAICS 336413, the prime contractor must perform at least 50 percent of the manufacturing cost. Deliverables are managed through the Wide Area Workflow system and include various CDRLs for asset visibility, production reporting, and quality deficiency findings. Final acceptance is subject to DCMA inspection, and all packaging must adhere to Special Packaging Instructions and TO 00-85B-3.
