Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force is soliciting proposals for the KC-46 Commercial Common Repairable Support under a competitive, unrestricted Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. This effort aims to provide worldwide supply support for KC-46A Depot Level Repair (DLR) National Stock Numbers (NSN), requiring a no greater than 30-day exchange of unserviceable assets for FAA-certified serviceable ones.

Scope of Work
The contractor will provide comprehensive supply support and management for KC-46A DLRs, including inspection, repair, overhaul, and replacement of unserviceable items with FAA Certified new, repaired, or overhauled assets. Key responsibilities include managing exchange and title transfer, shelf-life, packaging, handling, storage, and transportation (PHS&T). The scope also covers surge operations planning, processing Over & Above (O&A) requests, ensuring hardware substitutions meet FAA airworthiness standards, and inputting data into the Commercial Asset Visibility Air Force (CAVAF) system. A comprehensive Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) plan, addressing continuity of operations, foreign influence, and cybersecurity, is required per PWS Section 17.0.
