AI Contract Overview

The Embedded Diagnostics System II (EDS II) Support Program is seeking potential contractors with engineering expertise and relevant experience to assist in the design refinement, system integration, airworthiness certification, and testing of the EDS II system alongside the 578th organization. The program involves procurement, kitting, and acquisition of best value components for the C-5 aircraft, including key hardware such as the Auxiliary Maintenance Computer (AMC) from Systel, PCIU units, AMC II trays, ruggedized switches, FE Station mounts, and Ethernet wire harnesses, all to meet updated configuration requirements from the existing legacy system. Contractors must provide comprehensive engineering support, manage procurement activities, kit assembly, inventory management, and distribution of both contractor-managed and government-managed items to satisfy USG-approved supply support needs for the C-5M fleet. The solicitation, issued by the Department of Defense at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, is a sources-sought request for information intended to identify qualified vendors but does not guarantee future contract awards or reimburse participation costs. The contractor is expected to maintain accountability and storage for inventory, managing stock levels of peculiar items critical to the kitting and supply chain processes. Responses to the RFI are due by June 10, 2026, and interested parties can submit inquiries through designated government contacts. This effort emphasizes adherence to approved configurations and efficient logistics management to ensure readiness and support of the C-5M Embedded Diagnostics System II upgrade program.

Request for Information

The Government is conducting market research via this Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources that possess the engineering expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements for EDS II design refinement, system integration, airworthiness certification, and testing alongside the 578th organization. This effort also includes, but is not limited to, procurement and kitting, acquiring best value products, and identifying sources with experience supporting C-5 efforts. The EDS II requirements include the procurement and integration of the following components per aircraft: one Auxiliary Maintenance Computer (AMC) manufactured by Systel (Hawk IV); one PCIU (GETAC B360G3); one AMC II Tray developed by Systel; one Ruggedized Switch (DuraNet 300); one FE Station Mount developed by the 578th; and an Ethernet Wire Harness developed by the 578th (yardage to be determined). For context, the current legacy aircraft EDS configuration consists of the following baseline items per aircraft: one Auxiliary Maintenance Computer located in Avionics Bay 2 (Part Number: 4K99004-105A, NSN: 6610-01-606-0966); one PCIU located at the FE Station (Part Number: 714180-7100, NSN: 7021-01-702-8465); one PCIU Mount located at the FE Station; and one AMC Tray located in Avionics Bay 2 (Part Number: 4K99004-103A, NSN: 5975-01-524-5514). To support this transition, the Contractor shall provide engineering support, procure, kit, manage, and distribute kits for contractor-managed and USG-managed items to satisfy USG-approved C-5M supply support requirements for the identified C-5M items.
