Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Ogden, UT has issued Solicitation SPRHA1-26-R-4646 for the KC-46 Landing Gear Performance Based Logistics (PBL) program. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside for a single-award, requirements-type contract to provide remanufacture and overhaul support for KC-46 Landing Gear Depot Level Repairables (DLRs).

Scope of Work
The selected contractor will provide 100% overhaul and remanufacture support for KC-46 Main Landing Gear (MLG) and Nose Landing Gear (NLG) shipsets for programmed 10-year Time Change Intervals (TCI), as well as field-level support for sub-components. This includes 43 DLRs NSNs. The work requires compliance with FAA regulations, Component Maintenance Manuals (CMMs), and SAE AS9110 standards. An average annual requirement of 15 LG shipsets is anticipated. The contractor must furnish all necessary materials, procuring new parts from Boeing or approved sources, with Used Serviceable Material (USM) permitted under specific conditions.
