M61A1/M61A2 (20mm) Checking Fixtures

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Aircraft Guns division at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number FA852026CF to identify capable sources for the manufacture of M61A1/M61A2 (20mm) gun system checking fixtures and associated gages. This action is strictly for market research purposes and is not a solicitation for bids or proposals; the government has made no commitment to award a contract, and all submissions become government property with no expectation of reimbursement or return. The required items include precision checking fixtures and gages for F-15, F-16, and F-22 aircraft platforms, such as the Guide Bar (P/N 189F485), Unload Unit Check (P/N 117D2174), Barrel Erosion Gage (P/N 167C2209), and multiple plain cylinder plug gages, all to be produced build-to-print from a Technical Data Package containing authoritative engineering drawings, 3D CAD models, material specifications, and tolerance limits. Manufacturing must achieve tolerances as tight as 0.0001 inch using precision grinding or equivalent techniques, with evidence of a certified quality management system such as ISO 9001, AS9100, or IATF 16949 required. Respondents must provide detailed information on their company, including CAGE code, SAM registration status, and socioeconomic certifications such as small business, woman-owned, HUBZone, veteran-owned, or 8(a) status, along with statements regarding domestic or foreign ownership. The RFI also seeks information on warranty availability, current supply chain constraints, and estimated lead times for production. Responses are due by June 26, 2026, and must be submitted via email to designated contact points, with attachments limited to 10 MB per email, and must include a completed Contractor Capability Survey alongside supporting documentation on technical capabilities and past performance on similar requirements. The place of performance is Warner Robins, Georgia, and while no contract value or delivery schedule is specified, vendors are asked to describe prior contract experience including period of performance for comparable work.
