Summary
The purpose of this procurement is to acquire an inflatable hangar door plug system for Hangar 714 North. The hangar's current aperture doors are fitted for C-5 aircraft, creating significant air gaps when a C-17 is hangared. This condition prevents C-17 maintenance operations during winter months due to the inability to maintain a climate-controlled environment and the risk of pipes freezing. The required plug must create an effective thermal and weather seal around the fuselage of a C-17 to resolve this issue, enabling year-round maintenance capability and preventing damage to hangar infrastructure.
