The Department of the Navy, Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, has a requirement for T-6A and B Aircraft Conditional Inspection (ACI) and Re-Paint services required to support the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) command.

• Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (PEO C4I) Platform, Integration and Modernization (MOD) Department is the management lead for this Design Support Services (DSS) task order (T.O.) to support various installation levels of effort.

• The ACI is required on Navy T-6 aircraft every 7 years and considered to be a Depot maintenance event requiring separation of the fuselage and wing to inspect for and correct discrepancies that cannot typically be accessed or corrected at the Navy Organizational maintenance level. As such, emphasis will be placed on areas of corrosion, correction of discrepancies required for safe flight certification and discrepancies or issues that must be addressed while the aircraft is disassembled. In all cases, utilization of maintenance best practices is expected to maintain airworthiness of the area until the next ACI event occurs. Corrosion treatment, repair, and prevention are also a particular focus area of the ACI, especially considering Navy T-6 operational environments.
