This effort supports the broader context of federal procurement initiatives and underscores the military's focus on robust supply chains for defense capabilities.

The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines a contract for the painting of parts and assemblies for four ground support trailers required by the Air Force Packaging and Engineering Facility.

The painting must be completed and ready for pickup within 15 business days after the parts' arrival at the contractor's facility. The contract's performance period is from March 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025, with the painting tasks divided into two lots scheduled for delivery in the spring and summer. Services will occur within 70 miles of Wright Patterson AFB, and base transportation will facilitate the delivery and pickup of parts. This PWS serves to ensure timely and effective completion of the trailer production project by outsourcing specialized painting services.
