This is a non-personnel services contract to provide F-84F Thunderstreak and RB-66B Destroyer paint services. The government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn is responsible to the government. 1.1.1 Description of Services/Objectives. The contractor shall provide all management, personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform F-84F Thunderstreak and RB-66B Destroyer painting services as defined in this Statement of Work (SOW). The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. This includes the planning, coordination, and surveillance of the activities necessary to ensure disciplined work performance and timely resources application to accomplish all tasks under the contract. 1.2 Background. The F-84F (51-9364) Thunderstreak was manufactured by Republic Aviation and delivered to the United States Air Force (USAF) in 1951. She served in numerous commands throughout her career in the Strategic Air Command, Air National Guard and Tactical Air Command. Upon retirement from flying in the late 1960’s or early 70s, she was put on static display at American Legion Post in St. Hedwig, Texas Near Randolph AFB. After years a fending off vandals and scrappers, who stole some of her original panels and windows, the American Legion made it available to Dyess AFB for use in the Texas Museum of Military History in 1981. She made her final move to the Dyess AFB on a flatbed truck with her wings removed. She was originally placed in front of the 463d AMS building where restoration work was carried out. In 1991 she was finally moved to her current location in the Dyess Linear Air Park. Originally in South-East Asia camouflage, she was transitioned in the 1990s to a classic metallic paint scheme. The aircraft had her last paint touch-up in August of 2022 when her fuselage roundels were sanded down, corrosion was abated and the stars were repainted. This aircraft’s last full paint job in 2014. The base curator has performed annual cleanings of this aircraft since, but the paint has begun to fade to a noticeably since, especially the red. With 35 aircraft the base curator needs to contract some of the aircraft out in order to get the airpark looking as it should within the required time frame. 1.2.1 The RB-66B (53-0466) Destroyer was manufactured by Douglas Aircraft and delivered to the United States Air Force (USAF) on 26 June 1956. She served mostly at Shaw AFB, SC, but had a few deployments to Langley AFB and Yokota, Japan all under the Tactical Air Command. Upon retirement from flying in the late 1970, she was put in storage at the Boneyard at Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona. At an unknown point, the aircraft was taken out of the boneyard and placed on static display at Bergstrom AFB, TX. In 1993 Bergstrom AFB was closed as part of the Base Reallignment and closure (BRAC) program to reduce the size of the military. This closure left the RB-66B Destroyer orphaned. The B-66 Destroyer Association requested the aircraft be moved rather than scrapped because this was one of only seven B-66’s known to exist in the world today. In August 1993 the aircraft arrived at Dyess AFB for static display on the back of a semi-truck. She was initially displayed in the northern gate guard position. Eventually she was moved into the woods as there was no place to display her. Around 2012 she was moved to a back lot where she was sanded down, and primed. In 2014 she was towed up to her current display location and put on stands where she remains today. After moving to this site, she was painted using cheap house paints that faded quickly. 1.3 Inherently Governmental Function. The contractor shall not perform inherently governmental functions as defined in FAR Subpart 7.5 in relationship to this SOW. -- 3 of 42 -- Page - 4 - of 42 1.4 Place of Performance.
