KC-46 Commercial Common Repairable Support-Amendment 2

Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for providing worldwide supply support for KC-46A Depot Level Repair (DLR) National Stock Numbers (NSN) to the 448 Supply Chain Management Wing (SCMW). The primary goal is to ensure a 30-day exchange of unserviceable assets for serviceable ones, which must be FAA certified.

• Supply Support: Provide supply support and management for KC-46A DLRs to meet SCMW demand requirements. This includes inspection, repair, overhaul, and replacement of unserviceable items with serviceable FAA Certified new, repaired, or overhauled items.

• Exchange and Title Transfer: The contractor will receive unserviceable items from the USAF, and title will transfer to the contractor. The contractor will then provide a serviceable FAA certified item within the specified repair delivery time.

• Parts Manufacture Authority (PMA): PMA parts may be used for KC46 repair actions by FAA certified repair stations.

• Warranty: A one-year warranty will be provided on serviceable items at no cost to the 448 SCMW.

• Shelf-Life Management: The contractor must manage an item shelf-life program, identifying and rotating parts prior to expiration.

• Packaging, Handling, Storage & Transportation (PHS&T): The contractor must provide PHS&T using best commercial practices, including specific requirements for hazardous materials and "FAA Certified Part" marking.

• Surge Operations: The contractor must be prepared to meet increased demand during surge events, potentially by maintaining safety stock, adding shifts, or expediting production.

• Over & Above (O&A) Requests: The contractor will handle government-directed tasks not covered by the contract, requiring PCO approval.

• Hardware Substitutions: All part substitutions must meet FAA airworthiness standards and require notification to the 448 SCMW Engineering.

• Commercial Asset Visibility Air Force (CAVAF): The contractor must input data into CAVAF, which serves as the primary system for tracking government-owned assets at contractor facilities.

• Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM): A comprehensive SCRM plan is required, addressing continuity of operations, foreign influence, and cybersecurity.

• Program Management: The contractor must establish a single-manager POC for program management and provide a Program Manager responsible for overall effort coordination and issue resolution.

• Delivery: Meet contractual delivery schedules for all end items.

• Quality: Deliver FAA certified, serviceable, and defect-free end items.

• Data Reporting: Provide data requirements as specified in the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) with 95% accuracy and timeliness.

• Government Furnished Property (GFP): Perform 100% inspection of GFP and report all discrepancies.

• Response Times: Respond to government requests within specified timeframes (Emergency: 2 business days; Urgent: 5 business days; Routine: 10 business days).

• The PWS does not explicitly state the period of performance or place of performance, but it references the 448 SCMW and implies a worldwide scope for supply support.

• FAA Certification: All serviceable items must bear an FAA approved document (Form 8130-3 or Certificate of Conformance).

• Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) and Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) is required.

• Security: Operational Security (OPSEC) requirements must be met to reduce program vulnerability.

• Reporting: Various reports are required, including Material Data Reports, Production Surge Plans, and Supply Chain Risk Management Plans.

• The document includes appendices with acronyms, definitions, Federal Aviation Regulations, a Contract Data Requirement List (CDRL), and estimated workload data (flying hours and aircraft estimates).

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides clarifications and answers to vendor questions regarding the KC-46 CASPER MAC IDIQ solicitation, impacting Performance Work Statement (PWS) details, repair certifications, ordering procedures, and proposal submission requirements.

• FAA Part 145 Certification: Subcontractors' FAA Part 145 Repair Station certifications are acceptable for meeting prime contractor requirements. The prime is responsible for all documentation and capability requirements, but does not necessarily need to hold the certification itself. Boeing 767 certifications are acceptable for KC-46 repairs on common components.
• Repair vs. Exchange: The contract utilizes a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Flat-Rate Exchange model. A 30-day turnaround time (TAT) is the benchmark for exchange, repair, or overhaul, starting from receipt of the unserviceable item to shipment of the serviceable asset. While 30 days is the benchmark, parts requiring longer will be evaluated case-by-case.
• Subcontracting: Subcontracting is permitted for FAA Part 145 repair station requirements. The prime contractor remains responsible for all documentation and capability requirements.
• DER Repairs: DER repairs will not be accepted due to program office engineering approval requirements.
• Warranty: A warranty is not mandatory for parts deemed 'No Fault Found' (NFF).
• Pricing: Pricing is not required for the initial MAC IDIQ proposal. Competitive FFP pricing will be required for individual Fair Opportunity Proposal Requests (FOPRs).
• Proposal Submission: Font size requirements (Arial 12pt) for proposal text are strict. Cover sheets and glossaries must adhere to format restrictions and page limits.
• Export Control: Distribution Statement D and export control markings apply to CDRLs, even for commercially designated NSNs, as the aggregated repair data provides operational insights.
• Classified Information: Contractors may handle classified information, requiring adherence to DoD 5220.22-M and DoDM 5200.01 Vol 3.

These clarifications confirm the acceptability of subcontractors for FAA certifications, define the FFP Flat-Rate Exchange model, and clarify proposal submission guidelines. Pricing is deferred to the FOPR stage. The response due date was extended to February 13, 2026.
