Background
The United States Air Force (USAF) is seeking information and comments from interested and potential sources capable of procuring 20EA F139-PW4062-100 spare core engines for the KC-46A aircraft. The purpose of this Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS)/Request for Information (RFI) is to identify potential sources for the procurement of spare engines, which will be preserved, wrapped, and shipped to Tinker AFB for Engine Build Up (EBU) to make them Ready for Installation (RFI). The procurement of Quick Engine Change (QEC) components, EBU, Inlet Cowl, and Engine Trailer/Cradle will be done separately.

Work Details
The work includes fabricating and/or procuring parts, assembling, testing, and delivering zero-time F139 spare engines in accordance with the Prime Item/Engine Specification. The Contractor is responsible for maintaining manufacturing management, including a high-level detail Bill of Material (BOM) for the spare engines. Additionally, the Contractor shall furnish necessary petroleum/fuel for engine assembly and acceptance testing in compliance with specified standards. Logistics responsibilities include reporting data items for each new spare engine and marking engine data plates with unique identification markings.
Furthermore, the Contractor shall perform test and evaluation to ensure that all spare engines meet performance objectives and criteria. Systems engineering/project management efforts are also required along with developing an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), cost and software data reporting, risk management plan, and participation in the Government Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP). Configuration management activities involve proposing non-technical contract changes using existing Government processes and submitting specification changes as Specification Change Notices (SCN). The Contractor shall also implement data management procedures.

Place of Performance
The place of performance includes Tinker AFB where Engine Build Up (EBU) will occur to make the spare engines Ready for Installation (RFI), as well as designated CONUS locations for shipment/transportation of USAF spare engines.
