AI Contract Overview
The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research through a Request for Information to identify non-commercial sources capable of manufacturing the B-52 Azimuth Circuit Card Assembly (CCA), identified by NSN 5998-01-228-5360 and Part Number 377-11736-605. The primary objective is to qualify a new competitive source to provide a form, fit, function, and interface replacement for the current assembly used in the AN/APQ-166 Strategic Radar System. This effort aims to mitigate supply chain risks, avoid obsolescence bottlenecks, and ensure long-term sustainment of the B-52 fleet, as the government does not own the complete technical data package or unlimited rights to the data from the original equipment manufacturer, The Boeing Company. The required assembly is designated as a Nuclear Hardness Critical Item and must maintain nuclear survivability and electromagnetic pulse hardness through Hardness Critical Processes. Additionally, the CCA is classified as electrostatic sensitive per MIL-STD-1686 Class 1/2, requiring strict adherence to static protection practices. Potential sources must have the capability to handle and store classified material up to the Secret level and provide engineering support for future deficiency reports and material improvement projects. This effort falls under NAICS code 334511, and the government is evaluating whether a future contract can be awarded as a total or partial Small Business Set-Aside. For planning purposes, the government estimates an immediate need for 29 units, with a projected 10-year total requirement of approximately 37.4 units.
