Parts Life Incorporated (PLI) has completed the SAR Process and Reverse Engineering Risk Avoidance Process (RERAP) to demonstrate its ability to replicate the Seal Asy Hub, 2530-00-736-4672 through quality management programs. The DLA will have a competitive approved source for procurement of the Seal by utilizing PLI's method of manufacturing. The Materials, Equipment, Management, Measurements, Environment and Testing, and Manpower are focused on meeting and exceeding the expectations of the DoD's engineering community. Our Technical Data Package which are being submitted with this Phase II Proposal and the Phase I Deliverable can be used in to procure the Seal Asy Hub, 2530-00-736-4672 through Phase II funding and in future solicitations. PLI has used its extensive project management experience, reverse engineering creativity on obsolescence issues, 3-D modeling, CT Scanning, material testing and validation equipment, and prototype manufacturing facility to create a replica seal that will perform to standard with zero tolerance for failure. Parts Life Incorporated is a ISO9001:2008 certified and AS9100 Rev C certified business that will remain an approved source and manufacture the Seal Assembly Hub through the life of the M578 and any other military or commercial vehicle that utilizes NSN 2530-00-736-4672.
