Description:
1. This program provides a wide range of industrial equipment for base-level industrial shops used in support of aircraft, communications,
welding shops, electronic components, and paint shops. This equipment is used in the repair of engines, hydraulic/pneudraulic systems, landing
gear, airframe components and instruments. Also included in this program is state-of-the-art equipment required to upgrade and replace the
antiquated metalworking equipment in Air Force base maintenance shops. As this type of equipment reaches its life expectancy, it must be
replaced to prevent work stoppage in the repair and manufacture of critical weapon system components. Replacement of this type of equipment
is a continual, proactive process necessary to prevent out-of-tolerance conditions that lead to excessive downtimes for the equipment and the
components they repair.
2. FY03 funding procures both initial shortages as well as replacement equipment which is facing obsolescence. All items have an annual
procurement value of less than $5,000,000 and are Code A. Items requested in FY03 are identified on the following P-40a and are
representative of items to be procured. Items procured during execution may change based on the most critical equipment needed to support
current Air Force mission requirements.
