- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) Hydraulic System Auxiliary Pump (Left and Right) Upgrade to KC-135R/T/OC-B (419 aircraft in total). PURPOSE The 827th Aircraft Sustainment Group Contracting Office (827 ACSG/PK), Tinker AFB OK, is conducting market research to determine estimated cost of developing and installing a Hydraulic System Auxiliary Pump (Left and Right) Upgrade to meet all of the requirements in table 1. This solution should address meeting requirements in table 1 and should not be limited to replacement of both the left and right pumps. The optimal solution would provide an independent, onboard method of supplying hydraulic fluid with appropriate pressure/capacity to both the left and right hydraulic systems during ground operations. The hydraulic pump solution should be capable of accepting DC power for the purpose of charging the brake system for aircraft movement. DESCRIPTION The KC-135 R/T/OC-B hydraulic system consists of four engine driven hydraulic pumps (NSN 4320-01-242-5153HS/PN PV3-205-39), one on each engine, that provide 3000 PSI to two separate hydraulic systems at 22.5 gallons per minute (GPM) flow. In addition, there are two auxiliary pumps (NSN 3010-00-5675873RK/PN DO81 (DC Motor), 4320-00-864-8677HS/PN PF24-3906-24ZH4 [Right Hand Pump], NSN 4320-00-768-6345HS/PN 65W01020 [Left Hand Pump]) both rated at 0.76 GPM flow. However, the 0.76 GPM flow from the current auxiliary pumps does not allow proper flow to support testing of all hydraulic systems. To facilitate ground testing, maintainers are required to run engines/or use the MJ-2A hydraulic test stand and the A/M 32A-86 electric cart. Requiring maintainers to run engines and/or test equipment is time consuming and costly to the Government. Providing an independent, onboard method of supplying hydraulic fluid with appropriate pressure/capacity to both the left and right hydraulic systems would alleviate the burden of maintenance activities (use of hydraulic test stand) which would result in a manpower savings, avoid engine runs for pre-flight checks that would result in fuel saving, and increase aircraft availability to support the warfighter. The Government is seeking a Government off the shelf or commercial off the shelf solution that provides capability to sustain continuous operation of all hydraulic systems on the aircraft without use of external support equipment and engines. If these requirements cannot be met, please provide the systems that cannot be supported by the proposed solution. RESPONSE Responses shall address: 1. Developmental schedule (duration from contract award to on aircraft testing completion) 2. Estimated developmental cost (including nonrecurring engineering and technical data 3. Estimated A kit (items normally necessary to modify A/C) and B kit (end items such as line replaceable units) production cost broken down by system 4. Estimated installation cost with installation hours (broken down by system) 5. The components/methods proposed to be replaced or modified 6. The expected reliability maintainability & availability (RMA) improvement of replacement components 7. Reduction of total ownership cost 8. The basis for this expected improvement (for example, from analysis or demonstrated performance) 9. Details of proposed replacement components/methods to include, but not limited to, items such as electrical, hydraulic power system requirements, airworthiness certifications actions completed, current usage on other systems or in development, logistics support requirements/availability (parts supply, spares, repair, support equipment, tech data, etc.) 10. The Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimated costs for nonrecurring engineering, kits, and installation. Include estimated delivery schedule and product availability 11. Component lead times (longest lead time only for each system is required) 12. Maximum aircraft modified per year Table 1.
