Interested parties must submit their written responses to the designated contacts, Kyle Swaner and Austin Gardner, via email by May 2, 2025.

    The KC-46 Landing Gear acquisition team is requesting feedback from industry representatives to develop an effective overhaul and remanufacture strategy for the KC-46 landing gear, which includes one nose and two main landing gear units.

Respondents are asked to outline their challenges in creating proposals under these conditions. Additionally, feedback on whether companies can independently secure necessary access to CMMs before the contract award is required. Responses must be submitted via email to designated contacts by May 2, 2025. This request is part of the USAF's effort to ensure competitive proposals while navigating data access limitations inherent in government contracting processes.
