AI Contract Overview

The Department of Defense, through the Common Avionics 407 SCMS/GULBA at Robins AFB, is conducting market research via a Request for Information to identify potential non-commercial sources for the repair and manufacture of the B-52 Radar Pressurized Unit (RPU), NSN 1280-00-898-3679, Part Number 101-352. The primary objective is to mitigate supply chain risks associated with a single source of supply and ensure long-term sustainment for the B-52 fleet. Because the government does not own the technical data package, interested sources must demonstrate the capability to reverse-engineer the unit or develop form-fit-function equivalents from physical samples and technical manuals. The effort is categorized 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. Technical requirements for the RPU include meeting form, fit, and function standards referenced in T.O. 15A3-3-24-3, with a specific outlet air dew point of -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Qualified sources must be able to perform leak-rate testing under vacuum, vibration testing, and performance validation at a simulated altitude of 60,000 feet. The government estimates a 10-year demand of approximately 161.8 units, with an immediate need for 13 units. Prospective contractors must maintain facilities and personnel cleared for Secret classification and comply with stringent cybersecurity and supply chain standards, including DFARS 252.204-7012, NIST SP 800-171, and AS5553 for counterfeit parts prevention. Responses to this RFI are due by September 16, 2026.

Full Description

Show more

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 Radar Pressurized Unit (RPU). The National Stock Number (NSN) and Part Number (PN) are as follows:


NSN 1280-00-898-3679, P/N 101-352, Radar Pressurized Unit (RPU)


This RFI is being conducted to identify different potential non-commercial sources in determining if a future contract effort can be competitively awarded and/or awarded on a total or partial Small Business Set-Aside basis. The applicable North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this effort is 334511.


The original equipment manufacturer for the B-52 RPU was Great Lakes Manufacturing Corp.; however, the Government does not own the technical data package (TDP) or the rights to the data required for manufacture. The Government has identified AeroControlEx Corp. as the only known current supplier for this NSN. To mitigate supply chain risks associated with a single source of supply and ensure long-term sustainment for the B-52 fleet, the Government's primary objective is to develop a new, qualified source for this item. Please note, this is a Request for Information only, the Government is not requesting any proposals in response to this posting.

Repair of the B-52 CONECT
Solicitation # FA853927RB001
The Department of Defense, through the AFSC PZABA office at Robins AFB, is soliciting a five-year requirements contract for the repair of B-52 CONECT components. The contract structure consists of a basic period followed by four one-year ordering periods, utilizing both Firm Fixed Price and Cost-Plus Fixed Fee arrangements. The primary scope involves restoring Processor Groups and Display Units to a serviceable A condition, specifically covering NSNs 5821016576453CX, 5821016576452CX, and 5821016644605CX. Due to the specialized expertise, technical data, and equipment required, the government intends to award this effort to Honeywell Aerospace as the Original Equipment Manufacturer under FAR 6.103-1, though other interested parties may still express capability. Key operational requirements include adherence to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards, strict compliance with military packaging and marking standards such as MIL-STD-2073-1 and MIL-STD-129, and the use of the Wide Area WorkFlow system for electronic invoicing. The contractor must manage various turn-around times for routine, SURGE, and MICAP requirements and provide reporting via the Commercial Asset Visibility Air Force system. The solicitation is categorized under NAICS code 811210 and includes stringent cybersecurity requirements, including CMMC compliance and the safeguarding of covered defense information.

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.

The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research to identify qualified sources for the manufacture and repair of the B-52 Data Interface Unit/Data Transfer Receptacle (DTR), specifically the new Form, Fit, Function, and Interface (F3I) version. The DTR is a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) identified by NSN 7025-01-738-4504AY and Part Number P210015K0001-1. This critical component facilitates the transfer of Offensive Avionics System information between a Data Transfer Cartridge and the aircraft via Fibre Channel or MIL-STD-1553A data bus systems. The government intends to compete this requirement on the open market using government-owned technical data to ensure competitive production and sustainment. The required scope of work encompasses the delivery of new production units, hardware repair of unserviceable units, and comprehensive engineering support. Key technical requirements include obsolete parts resolution, Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) support, and the investigation of Deficiency Reports. Contractors must provide all necessary facilities, tooling, and test equipment to ensure units conform to government-furnished technical data packages. Additionally, respondents must demonstrate capabilities in configuration management, quality assurance standards such as AS9100 or ISO 9001, and compliance with cybersecurity regulations including DFARS 252.204-7012 and 252.204-7021.
