Legacy Attitude Heading & Reference System (AHRS) Component Replacements – Low-cost Avionics Modernization Program II (LAMP II)

The Department of Defense, through the FA8220 Aflcmc Wndt office at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, has issued a sources-sought Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation FA822026RB007. The objective is to identify potential sources for Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) or Non-Developmental Item (NDI) solutions to replace obsolete analog components within the Attitude Heading and Reference System (AHRS) for T-38A and AT-38B Talon aircraft. This effort, part of the Low-cost Avionics Modernization Program II (LAMP II), aims to address high failure rates and repair challenges that currently impact aircraft readiness and safety. The required solution must generate accurate attitude and heading signals, maintain compatibility with legacy systems such as the Astronautics AFI4700 ADI/HSI, and operate reliably across the full flight envelope. The program anticipates the procurement of 57 A-Kits and 57 B-Kits, plus additional spares. Interested respondents must submit a white paper not exceeding 15 pages by November 3, 2026, to the designated point of contact. Submissions must include a capability statement, a notional schedule, a risk assessment, and a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate. Evaluation will focus on technical narratives, specifically emphasizing Form, Fit, Function, and Interface (F3I) compliance, airworthiness certifications such as FAA TSO, and long-term sustainment strategies including National Stock Number (NSN) stocklisting. While the final award method is not explicitly stated, the emphasis on technical merit and lifecycle planning suggests a best-value trade-off process. Performance and delivery are designated for Nibley, Utah, with packaging and marking governed by MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073.
