MODULE ASSY - ENGIN
Solicitation # NO0383-26-Q-AB01
This Request for Quotations, issued by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia on September 11, 2026, seeks technical services for the teardown, evaluation, repair, and/or modification of two specific items: a Module Assembly - Engine (NSN 1680-01-585-4772) and a Proximity Switch EL (NSN 1680-01-585-5024). The primary objective is to return these units to a Ready for Issue (RFI) condition, ensuring they perform reliably in their intended operational environments. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary facilities, labor, materials, and specialized tooling, as the government will not provide manufacturing aids or test equipment unless expressly stated. Because these items are considered flight critical, government source approval is required prior to award, and non-approved sources must submit specific documentation via the NAVSUP WSS Philadelphia Source Approval Information Brochure. The contract mandates strict adherence to technical and quality standards, including ISO 9001 or SAE AS9100 quality management systems and specific calibration requirements. Technical data must comply with MIL-STD-130 for markings and MIL-STD-2073 for packaging, with specific provisions for electrostatic discharge protection and domestic versus overseas shipping levels. Contractors must manage complex repair scenarios, such as items determined to be Beyond Economical Repair (BER), Missing on Induction (MOI), or requiring Over and Above (OAR) repair, all of which require formal written concurrence from DCMA and the Procuring Contracting Officer. Quotations are due by October 13, 2026, and the performance period is set for 90 days following award, with all shipments being FOB Destination.

The VSDs will be installed onto its fleet of MC-130J aircrafts. This effort is a production kit requirement. The Government plans to utilize the Delivery Protection Program (DPP) competitive procedures to fulfill this requirement. The DPP competitive procedures allows the Government to award Mission Essential Quantity (MEQ) to a proven source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1 while an unproven source is manufacturing a first article. Unproven sources will be required to provide a First Article for testing and qualification prior to being awarded the Option for the remaining requirement. Final part numbers and quantities will be identified in the resulting contract to include VSDs, initial spares, and support equipment. The resultant contract is planned to have a period of performance of five (5) years as follows: two (2) year basic, with three (3) options. The final awardee shall manufacture and produce the VSDs, support equipment, initial spares, and any deliverables as specified in the contract and Statement of Work (SOW). The Government requires a vendor that possesses the expertise and specific knowledge of the SOF MC-130J and Sargent Fletcher Air Refueling Pod. This VSD and other applicable parts were engineered and developed specifically for the Air Refueling Pod on the MC-130J aircrafts. These items cannot be purchased in the commercial marketplace. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. This opportunity is not open to foreign vendors.

The Department of the Air Force, specifically AFLCMC/WIUAA, is conducting market research via solicitation FD2060-26-33314 to identify capable small-business sources for the Special Operations Forces Technical Data Management, Development, and Provisioning Project. This effort focuses on providing professional engineering, technical writing, and configuration management services to support Special Operations Forces C-130 aircraft, including AC, MC, and HC variants.

MODIFIED WC-130J RTP APN-241 WEATHER RADAR SUSTAINING ENGINEERING SUPPORT RESEARCH AND SUPPORT TASK
Solicitation # FA8509A069433
The Government is conducting market research to identify sources capable of providing sustaining engineering, repairability, and maintainability support for the modified WC-130J RTP APN-241 Weather Radar. The primary objective is to upgrade one MC-130J version RTP to the WC-130J RTP configuration, expanding rain rate spectrum detection from 5 to 14 bands to support Silent Knight RADAR developmental testing. Key requirements include resolving reliability and maintainability issues, addressing obsolete parts and Diminishing Manufacturing Sources, and providing up to 400 man-hours of engineering support, including on-site presence at Eglin AFB for two engineers. Potential sources must have the ability to install the radar, troubleshoot system discrepancies, and maintain access to Northrop Grumman equipment and engineering software databases. The anticipated acquisition strategy involves a two-year contract beginning in FY27 with a possible six-month extension, although some documentation suggests a period of performance not to exceed 12 months. The Government anticipates this requirement may be a sole source award to Northrop Grumman Corporation. As this is currently a Request for Information under FAR 15.101(c), it is issued for planning purposes and does not constitute a formal Request for Proposal or a commitment to contract. Interested parties must provide documentation of their capabilities, including strategies to overcome any experience gaps, and identify potential small business carve-outs. All deliverables and payment requests are to be processed via Wide Area WorkFlow.
