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.
