B-1 Borescope

Amendment / Modification

This amendment addresses a question from industry regarding the requirement for measuring capability for 6mm and 4mm borescopes.

• Item 14 (Description of Amendment/Modification) on page 1, and the continuation page detailing the "Summary of Changes".

• The amendment clarifies that the USAF does not currently have specific requirements for borescope sizes.

• It notes that while NDI Technical Orders (TOs) may specify sizes for certain tasks, they often reference specific borescope models.

• The government uses 4mm and 6mm borescopes for their own tasks, and these sizes appear to be standard for aircraft inspection borescopes.

Amendment / Modification

This amendment addresses a question from industry regarding the mandatory requirement for stereo measurement. The government clarifies that stereo probes are not mandatory. Bidders can use either standard (single) lens or stereo probes to meet the technical requirements.

Specification #2 is affected by this clarification.

This amendment clarifies a technical requirement, potentially impacting how bidders configure their proposed solutions. It does not appear to change proposal deadlines or submission rules.
