The document details F-5 aircraft repairs, focusing on specific parts and their associated malfunctions and required replacements. The repairs include power supplies with issues like short circuits and inoperable electronics, and rotary electro-mechanical actuators suffering from mechanical movement cursor locked messages, disk assembly failures due to wear and corrosion, damaged gears, dirty ID plates, dented motor covers, missing lock tabs, damaged studs, broken wires, overheating motors, stuck motors, failed DC brakes, inoperable main brakes, defective shaft fixing helicoils, and damaged Teleflex cable screw helicoils. The document provides detailed lists of parts to be replaced for each item, including screws, retainers, covers, lockpins, straps, instruction plates, ID plates, circuit boards, power transformers, gaskets, shims, ball bearings, springs, and disk assemblies. The overarching purpose of this document is to outline the scope of repair work and necessary component replacements for F-5 aircraft, likely as part of a government RFP or maintenance contract.

This Performance Work Statement outlines the requirements for contractors to provide unclassified repair and overhaul services for F-5 aircraft parts for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. The contractor must be a qualified repair source, adhering to technical orders and industry standards. Key requirements include providing a production schedule, performing teardown, test, and evaluation (TT&E) with firm fixed-price proposals for repair and overhaul, and managing 'Over and Above' repairs with PCO approval. Critical Safety Items require 100% inspection. The contractor is responsible for quality control, compliance with environmental regulations, and information security, including Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The USG will not provide tooling or materials, and the contractor will operate from their own facility. Performance will be evaluated based on report accuracy, repair completion time, and minimal rework.

The Department of the Air Force, AFLCMC/WNDI, issued a Sources Sought Synopsis (FA8220-26-R-DS02) for F-5 aircraft support, specifically commodity repair and return services. This is not a solicitation, but a market research effort to identify potential sources, including small businesses, for an acquisition strategy. The proposed NAICS codes are 336413, 541330, and/or 811219. The program, planned for Fiscal Year 2026, involves the repair and return of major components like Rotary Electro-Mechanical Actuators, Power Supplies, and Stability Augmentation Test Sets, with further details on known faults in an attached spreadsheet. Interested parties must submit electronic responses by 1300 MST on January 30, 2026, to Danielle Stiff and Mark Parker. Responses should include company information, small business status, teaming arrangements, similar past services, and answers to specific questions regarding capabilities for F-5 parts repair/overhaul and outsourcing.
