Power Electronics Design and Engineering for Avionics

The contract entails the design, modeling, and validation of a Rotary Transformer Rectifier Unit (RTRU) to convert 115V AC, 400 Hz, 3-phase power into a stable +28V DC output capable of delivering up to 400 amps, specifically engineered to meet the stringent integration requirements of the C-5 aircraft. The work must ensure full compliance with avionics performance, safety, and environmental standards applicable to military aerospace systems, with emphasis on electrical efficiency, thermal management, and electromagnetic compatibility. The RTRU must be robust enough to operate reliably under the dynamic conditions of flight, including vibration, temperature extremes, and power transients. This subcontract falls under NAICS code 541330 for engineering services and is issued by the Department of Defense through the Georgia DLA Aviation office at Warner Robins. The proposal deadline is set for May 2, 2026, with the solicitation posted on May 4, 2026, indicating a possible administrative or system error in the dates. The work is expected to be performed in support of critical airframe integration, requiring close adherence to military specifications and possibly involving coordination with aircraft system integrators. No set-aside provisions are specified, and the place of performance details are not provided, implying flexibility in location as long as contractual deliverables and testing requirements are met.
