Repair of A-10 Oxygen Monitor

This Fact Sheet outlines the procedures for defense industry partners to request Technical Orders (TOs) from the centralized Public Sales Office at Tinker Air Force Base, which handles requests for Tinker, Robins, and Hill Air Force Bases. Under Department of Defense Directive 5230.25, the submission process varies depending on the purpose of the request. Requests supporting active solicitations must go through the announcing contracting office, while existing DoD contracts require an AFTO Form 43. Foreign Military Sales and Parts Repair Ordering Systems (PROS) have specific designated routing procedures. For unsolicited bids, Requests for Information (RFIs), or public sales, requestors must submit a current, certified DD Form 2345 alongside a detailed justification on company letterhead specifying the exact TO numbers required. Approved requests incur a $65.00 fee per TO, with additional charges for paper copies or physical media. Processing takes up to 30 calendar days.

This document outlines the Repair/Remanufacture Qualification Requirements (RQR-848, Revision 2) for Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) commodity Critical Safety Items (CSI) and Critical Application Items (CAI) managed by the 848th Supply Chain Management Group. It establishes the technical standards potential sources must satisfy to obtain Engineering Support Activity (ESA) approval. To qualify, potential sources must submit a comprehensive, electronic Source Approval Request (SAR) package to the AFSC Small Business Office. SAR submittals are categorized into three groups: Category I (Actual Item) for sources with recent experience repairing the exact item; Category II (Similar Item) for sources with experience on comparable items; and Category III (New Repair/Remanufacture) for sources possessing authorized data rights but no prior repair history. The RQR details 21 specific documentation elements required for evaluation, including quality assurance certifications (such as AS9100 or ISO 9001:2015), technical data rights, sub-tier supplier matrices, and detailed process/operations sheets. Major industrial processes, such as heat treating and non-destructive testing, require NADCAP or OEM certification. If the ESA approves the SAR, the vendor is added to the approved source list and becomes eligible to bid on active solicitations. Disapproved packages may be corrected and resubmitted, subject to a three-strike limit within 36 months for a single National Stock Number. Approved sources must maintain their qualification by reporting any organizational or process changes and avoiding production evaluation failures.

This Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) is issued by the U.S. Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The purpose of this market research is to identify potential sources capable of performing the repair, overhaul, and remanufacture of Oxygen Monitors (NSN: 1660016193225BO, Part Number: 3270063-0601) used on the A-10 aircraft platform. The estimated repair requirement is a Best Estimated Quantity (BEQ) of 210 units to be returned in completely serviceable, like-new condition. The requirement is managed by the 423rd Supply Chain Management Squadron (SCMS) under NAICS code 336413, which has a size standard of 1,250 employees. The contractor will be responsible for labor, materials, facilities, supply chain management, logistics, parts forecasting, obsolescence management, and delivery. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP), and no contract will be awarded based on this announcement. The Government does not possess the technical data to provide to potential sources, meaning interested vendors must independently acquire the necessary technical data. To qualify, interested sources must complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package. Responses containing basic business information (Part I) must be submitted electronically to 423scms.guea.inquiries@us.af.mil to help the Air Force determine the optimal acquisition strategy, including potential Small Business Set-Asides.

This federal document is a Repair Data List (RDL) issued by the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) for an aircraft oxygen monitor. It identifies the item by National Stock Number (NSN) 1660-01-619-3225, Part Number 3270063-0601, and CAGE Code 99251. Additionally, the document establishes a standard "Furnished Method Code Legend" to define how related technical and repair data will be provided to contractors, with codes ranging from data furnished with the solicitation to proprietary vendor data.

This Contract Repair Screening Analysis Worksheet (AFMC Form 762) establishes the technical and repair requirements for the A-10 aircraft's Oxygen Monitor (NSN: 1660016193225, Part Number: 3270063-0601). With an estimated annual repair quantity of 12 units and a projected annual budget of $178,896.00, the worksheet justifies a sole-source, limited-time repair contract to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Mission Systems Davenport Inc. (CAGE: 99251). While the item is typically overhauled organically (at Source of Repair: OC), this specific contract is required to address a subcomponent repair that the organic facility cannot perform, aiming to alleviate active backorders. The Oxygen Monitor is designated as a Critical Application Item, requiring special test equipment, dedicated environmental control facilities, and pre-contract qualification (RMC/RMSC Code: R2/C). Technical orders and repair data lists are mandatory for the solicitation, and 848 SCMG Repair Qualification Requirements apply to maintain the established technical baseline. No government-furnished material is required, but special tools and facilities are mandatory for execution.
