PERISHABLE TOOLING FOR OUTER WING PANEL (OWP) AILERON HINGE REPLACEMENTS
NAWCAD has issued an RFI for perishable tooling supporting outer wing panel (OWP) aileron hinge replacements for the F/A-18 E/F and EA-18G. The RFI seeks industry input on existing marketplace products, products under development, or enabling technologies that could substantially meet performance requirements, including potential availability within 24 months. Interested parties should provide administrative information, technical narratives, photos, drawings, manuals, references, recommendations to improve the tooling, and specific questions. Responses are limited to ten pages and must be submitted by email, but this is a request for information only and not a solicitation or offer. The Government will not pay costs, award a contract based on this RFI, or be bound to solicit or award; proprietary information will be safeguarded, and respondents will be notified of the review results.
