Repair Of Aircraft Fuel Boost Pump

The Department of Defense is conducting market research via a Request for Information to identify capable sources for the depot level repair of Aircraft Fuel Boost Pumps, specifically part number 62218-1 and NSN 1680-01-531-2588SO, used on HC-130J and MC-130J aircraft. The government intends to establish a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Contract with a five year duration, consisting of a basic period and four annual ordering periods, with an anticipated award date in FY27. The original equipment manufacturer is Eaton Corporation, and the government does not own the technical data for these items. The selected contractor must provide all necessary materials, tools, and test equipment to return the pumps to a serviceable condition without altering the original design unless authorized by the Procuring Contracting Officer. Assets must be delivered within 60 days after the receipt of the order or repairable assets, whichever is later. Potential respondents must demonstrate quality assurance capabilities through AS9100 or ISO 9001 standards and provide commercial manuals or acceptance test procedures for engineering review. While the government has indicated this is a sole source requirement for Eaton Corporation, it is currently evaluating small business capabilities to determine the final acquisition strategy.
