DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
1.1. B ACKGROUND
1. 48 CMS Shop: The Propulsion Flight is the Combat Air Forces largest Pratt & Whitney F100
Centralized Repair Facility. During the process of overhauling engines, it is required to thoroughly clean
engine components prior to inspection or repair. By utilizing a contracted service for a part washing
machine and solution, it ensures the ability to clean parts at any given time, therefore enhancing engine
production. The Flight is also standing up a new section in Building 1335, in addition to building 1225,
that will require the Parts Washer and Servicing contract.
2. 48 EMS Wheel & Tire Shop: The 48 EMS Wheel & Tire shop supports F-15E and F-35A aircraft
that provide worldwide responsive combat airpower and support. Servicing the Wheel & Tire equipment
allows the proper maintenance to be accomplished to provide the Fighter Generation Squadrons with
quality products
3. 48 AGE: Primarily, we use the parts washer for our aircraft support equipment’s wheel bearings.
Most aircraft support equipment moves on wheels, AGE disassembles them, wash the bearings in the
machine and then reassemble them for service. The Age mission to support aircraft is a never-ending
task and a contract in needed to reflect that by providing flexible support.
4. 48 MUNS Armament Shop: Armament is responsible for maintaining and conducting periodic
schedule inspections (18 months, 36 months, 54 months., 72 months, etc.), malfunctions and
troubleshooting on Alternate Mission Equipment (AME), 20MM Gun and Ammunition Feed Systems
for the F-15E Strike Eagle along with Universal Ammunition Loading Systems (UALS) in support of 48
Munitions Squadron and Flightline operations. The Ultrasonic parts washer is used to clean grime,
grease, compositions and other chemicals off various parts associated with the 20MM Gun System and
UALS. The Ultrasonic parts washer allows for a more efficient and timelier clean in-lieu of members
having to meticulously clean each item by hand. Furthermore, it allows technicians to continue other
maintenance tasks, and inspections while the automated cleaning process is in works. Having the
machine decreases man hours for completing inspections, prevents additional manning from having to be
dedicated to gun system and UALS inspections and maintenance and allows for more equipment to be
successful maintained in support of F-15E’s between 2 Fighter Generation Squadrons.
5. 100 MXS: 100 MXS Airmen and Civilians perform in-garrison or expeditionary organizational and
intermediate aircraft and equipment maintenance. This contract is vital for the upkeep and servicing of
our parts washers, ensuring the smooth continuation of our current overhaul procedures. Both the 100th
Air Refueling Wing and the 352nd Special Operations Wing heavily rely on these services to support the
daily flying operations. Presently, these services play a crucial role in the repair and overhaul of over 400
assets each year, resulting in approximately 1,000 saved man-hours annually. Without access to these
services, both Wings would face significant setbacks, leading to slower turnaround times for these assets
and ultimately creating a backlog that directly impacts our daily flying operations in a detrimental
manner.

6. 48 MUNS MSEM Shop: Inspects, maintains, and services assigned non-powered MMHE. They
maintain the chassis portion of the ammunition loading assembly (ALA), ammunition loading system
(ALS), linkless ammunition loading system (LALS), UALS, or F-35 Bulk Loader as well as the MHU-
141, MHU-110, and MHU-226 which are used to deliver munitions for training and alert sorties. The
Finnsonic Parts Washer is used to clean grime, grease, compositions and other chemicals off various
parts of the chassis and trailers. This allows for a more efficient and timelier clean in-lieu of members
having to clean by hand. Having this machine ensures quick turnaround times for these assets enabling
daily flying operations.
