RFI: AN/APY-1/2 E-3 surveillance radar 5-Volt Power Supply
Solicitation # FA8539-6130014513046CW
The Department of Defense, specifically the United States Air Force, is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of providing depot repair services for the AN/APY-1/2 E-3 surveillance radar 5-Volt Power Supply, identified by NSN 6130-01-451-3046CW and Part Number PS12295. This component is critical for maintaining the mission capability and reliability of the E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft. Because the technical repair data is not government-owned and is costly to acquire or reverse engineer, the government is seeking vendors with the necessary expertise and data to perform these repairs. The scope of work requires the contractor to perform repairs at their own facility with a turnaround time of 45 calendar days, at a rate not exceeding three units per month. Key performance requirements include the establishment of a counterfeit electronic part detection system and a quality program that limits Product Quality Deficiency Reports to no more than one for the duration of the contract. Contractors must utilize the Commercial Asset Visibility-Air Force (CAV-AF) system for production reporting and the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) for invoicing and receiving reports. Compliance requirements include adherence to DFARS 252.204-7012 regarding the safeguarding of covered defense information and DFARS 252.239-7010 for cloud computing security. Packaging and marking must follow Air Force Materiel Command Form 158, and all delivered items must meet Unique Item Identification (IUID) standards. This effort is currently a Request for Information for market research purposes, with a response deadline of December 6, 2026, and is categorized under NAICS code 334511.

B-52 APQ-166 Magnetron/Electron Tube
Solicitation # 21-00017
The Department of Defense, through the AFSC PZABA, is conducting market research via presolicitation 21-00017 to identify sources capable of providing essential depot level repair for the B-52 APQ-166 Strategic Radar System Electron Tube, identified by NSN 5960-01-318-0987 and Part Number VMX-1849. The scope of work involves fault isolation, functional testing, inspection, and packaging of unserviceable assets to return them to a serviceable or like-new condition. This is a Firm-Fixed Price Requirements contract with a period of performance consisting of a basic one-year period, four 12-month ordering periods, and an optional six-month extension. The government notes that Communications and Power Industries (CPI) is the original manufacturer and current repair provider, and because the government does not own the technical data, it is considered uneconomical to purchase the data or reverse engineer the item. Performance is based on a maximum rate of two units per month, with all repairs required to meet the form, fit, function, and interface requirements of SCD 156-116. Quality acceptance is performed by DCMA at the repair site, and contractors must maintain a quality system adhering to ISO 9001.2000/ANSI/ASQC Q92. Key deliverables include reporting via the Commercial Asset Visibility Air Force (CAVAF) system and the submission of Engineering Change Proposals and Parts Approval Requests. Strict packaging standards are mandated, including compliance with ANSI S20.20 and MIL-HDBK-263-B for electrostatic discharge protection, and marking requirements per MIL-STD-129R and MIL-STD-130. All payment requests and receipt documents must be processed through PIEE/WAWF.
