Combined Synopsis / Solicitation for a potential Supply Chain Management Contract for F108 Engine Support – Mission Analysis

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is adding three distinct scopes of work to its existing sole‑source contract with CFM International for the F108 (CFM56‑2) engine fleet supporting USAF KC/RC/WC135 aircraft. The effort includes (1) a comprehensive mission analysis to reassess engine usage assumptions and life‑limited part limits, (2) updating thermal, CAD, and stress models of the F108 engine for future lifing and design activities, and (3) certifying a new self‑locking borescope plug set with a service bulletin to replace safety‑wire‑dependent plugs. The work is to be performed by the OEM (CFM) but non‑OEM firms with full F108 data access may submit a letter of interest. • KC/RC/WC135 mission characteristics definition and impact analysis on life‑limited parts. • Conversion and upgrade of legacy F108 thermal and stress models to modern simulation tools. • Development, testing, and FAA/USAF service bulletin issuance for a self‑locking borescope plug set on the CFM56‑2 engine.
