Obsolescence Management and Replacement Component Sourcing

The contract focuses on managing obsolescence for aging ALQ-131 power supply components by identifying, qualifying, and sourcing replacement parts that meet strict form-fit-function requirements. This involves locating commercially available or custom-designed substitutes that can seamlessly integrate into existing systems without requiring redesign or extensive modification. The effort requires detailed technical analysis to ensure replacements maintain performance, reliability, and compatibility with legacy hardware, particularly in mission-critical defense applications. The work is targeted at Warner Robins, Georgia, and falls under the NAICS code 334418, indicating it relates to electronic component manufacturing. This is a subcontract opportunity under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s ESYC office. Interested parties must submit responses by July 16, 2026, and the procurement seeks capable vendors with experience in obsolescence management, COTS component sourcing, and validation of electronic subsystems for military platforms. The effort is essential to sustaining operational readiness of aging electronic warfare systems where original components are no longer available through standard supply chains.
