AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Air Force is seeking qualified sources capable of repairing the B-52 Data Interface Unit/Data Transfer Receptacle (DTR), identified by NSN 7025-01-738-4504AY and Part Number P210015K0001-1, which is the new Form, Fit, Function, and Interface (F3I) version produced by Kihomac, Inc. Currently, repairs for the legacy DTR are handled exclusively by Symetrics Industries under existing contracts, but the Government lacks sufficient technical data or rights to open competition for the newer variant. The RMC/RMSC code R4/Q indicates the part can only be repaired by the original manufacturer due to incomplete or inaccessible data, preventing breakout to other vendors despite ongoing efforts to secure the necessary technical information. The Government is exploring reverse engineering and other methods to obtain repair data and enable future competitive repair options. This sources-sought notice, issued under NAICS Code 811210, invites industry input to identify vendors with the expertise to meet qualification requirements for repair, with responses due by August 21, 2026. The solicitation is managed by the Air Force Sustainment Center based at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, with Tyler Martens as the primary point of contact and Kizmet Hall as the secondary contact. The procurement is not currently set aside for any specific small business category, and the successful respondent will need to demonstrate proven capability in repairing this specific avionics component under stringent military standards. This effort is part of a broader initiative to transition from sole-source repair to a competitive environment, potentially reducing long-term sustainment costs and enhancing supply chain resilience.

Full Description

B-52 Data Interface Unit/Data Transfer Receptacle (DTR)

The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources with the expertise, capabilities, experience, and technical repair data necessary to meet qualification requirements to repair the B-52 Data Interface Unit/Data Transfer Receptacle (DTR). The National Stock Number (NSN) and Part Number (PN) are as follows:

LRU:
NSN 7025-01-738-4504AY, P/N P210015K0001-1, INTERFACE UNIT, DATA

This RFI is for the repair of the new Form, Fit, Function, and Interface (F3I) DTR currently produced by Kihomac, Inc. The legacy B-52 DTR is repaired by Symetrics Industries (CAGE 22830) under contracts FA8539-20-D-0013 and FA8539-25-D-0004. The RMC/RMSC code for the B-52 DTR is R4/Q. R4 represents “Repair, for the first time, directly from the actual manufacturer” while “Q” states that the Government does not have adequate data, lacks rights to data, or both needed to contract repair of this part from additional sources. The Government has been unable to economically buy the data or rights to the data. Breakout to competition has not been achieved, but current, continuing actions to obtain necessary rights to data or adequate, repair technical data indicate breakout to competition is expected to be achieved. This part may be a candidate for reverse engineering or other techniques to obtain technical data.
