Procurement of reverse engineering data and technical substantiation to support the continued use of existing aircraft maintenance tooling at South African Airways. Suited to aviation engineering firms with MRO, tooling, and airworthiness documentation expertise. Full RFQ and bid form details are in the supporting documents.
South African Airways (Pty) Limited has issued Request for Quotation SP0033-26 for the determination of reverse engineering data and the development of technical substantiation for the continued use of aircraft existing maintenance tooling. The requirement addresses the need to establish technical baseline data for maintenance tools where original design documentation may be unavailable, incomplete, or insufficient to support current operational and regulatory requirements. The service is intended to give SAA a documented, defensible basis for using these tools in its maintenance operations.
The scope is expected to cover the analysis and recreation of technical data for existing tooling, including dimensional and functional characterisation, and the preparation of technical substantiation reports that demonstrate fitness for purpose. Deliverables are likely to include engineering data packages and documentation structured to support airworthiness and quality assurance processes. Specific technical requirements, deliverable formats, timelines, and evaluation criteria are set out in the RFQ document and the BID Request Form, which should be reviewed in full before submitting a response.
This opportunity is relevant to aviation engineering consultancies, certified Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) organisations, and technical service providers with experience in reverse engineering, aircraft tooling, and aviation regulatory compliance. Successful delivery would support SAA's operational safety, maintenance efficiency, and compliance obligations. Interested bidders should verify their capability against the requirements, confirm any required accreditations or approvals, and submit responses before the closing date of 3 November 2026.
Aviation engineering consultancies, MRO organisations, aerospace technical service providers, and engineering firms with reverse engineering, tooling documentation, or airworthiness substantiation experience. Bidders should hold relevant technical capability and any aviation regulatory approvals required under the RFQ. Smaller specialist firms may be suitable if they can partner or subcontract to meet the full scope.
