Closed Solicitation · DEPT OF DEFENSE
AI Summary
The Department of Defense, specifically the Air Force, is seeking a sole source acquisition for two balance stations from Balance Technology Inc (BTI) to support the R391 Propeller Shop at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. This procurement aims to enhance operational efficiency by reducing downtime during OEM maintenance of existing equipment, which has caused work stoppages. The new balancers will be identical to the current ones, ensuring compatibility and support for the fleet.
This is a sole source, commercial requirement. The Dowty Propeller Shop in B350 currently has one BTI prop balancer and one BTI blade balancer. These two balancers were provided in the initial standup of the shop by Dowty GE. These two stands are specifically called for use during overhaul within the Dowty commercial maintenance manuals. These balancers are extremely sensitive and occasionally require OEM maintenance. This acquisition is to add one each prop balancer and blade balancer to reduce/eliminate downtime during OEM maintenance. The existing stations are single point failures and have resulted in work stoppages requiring OEM remedy. During the repairs, the shop is not able to support the PPP and C130J fleet.
Balance Technology Inc (BTI) is the OEM for the existing two balance stations in the R391 Propeller shop. This acquisition is for two identical balance stations to augment the existing two in support of the 402d Commodities Maintenance Group (CMXG), Robins Air Force Base, Georgia.
