Prebuy Aircraft Inspection Services

The government authority in Austin, TX requires prebuy aircraft inspection services to support an informed purchase decision and mitigate acquisition risks. The buyer needs an independent, thorough assessment of the aircraft's airworthiness, structural integrity, maintenance history, modification status, and overall condition. The requested scope covers physical inspections and functional checks, including exterior and interior general condition assessments, structural inspections using Non-Destructive Testing methods, and borescope inspections of powerplants and propellers. Additionally, the contractor must evaluate general systems and airtanker-specific systems, focusing on corrosion from fire retardant exposure. To be eligible, vendors must be located onshore within the USA. Work performance takes place both onsite and offsite. The contract period spans one year, and the buyer is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget.
