The 916th AMXS Hydraulics shop outlines a Statement of Work (SOW) to procure Honeywell brake rebuild tools for the KC-46 aircraft, critical for US Air Force operations. The tools are necessary for disassembling and reassembling the aircraft's brakes according to prescribed technical orders. This project does not require vendor installation, as the Hydraulics section will install the tooling on-site. Delivery of tools is expected within 120 days following contract award, coordinated through SJAFB gates. The contractor must provide new equipment, adhering to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards and warranties, ensuring complete documentation for customer support and technical assistance. This SOW reflects the government's commitment to maintaining operational readiness and compliance through precise equipment acquisition for military aircraft maintenance.
