AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Air Force is conducting market research for the C-5M Replacement Multi-Functional Controls and Displays (RMCD) program to identify qualified vendors capable of delivering an integrated hardware and software solution that replaces aging Multi-Function Display Units while addressing diminishing manufacturing sources and preventing mission-capable grounding due to spare part shortages. The new system must meet military and aviation airworthiness standards, prioritize modular open systems architecture to enable future upgrades and interoperability, and support integration and testing across both contractor and government laboratories. The solution must include sufficient production quantities for prototype installations, ground, and flight testing, and must be built to conform to a detailed product baseline that includes comprehensive documentation for hardware, software, installation, training, operation, and disposal. Software development is expected to follow an agile at scale framework such as SAFe, with iterative delivery rather than traditional waterfall milestones. Contractors are required to furnish all materials, tools, test equipment, and support services necessary for development, testing, and sustainment, ensuring that all replacement components meet or exceed the quality of original parts. All support equipment must be maintained and calibrated by the contractor or their subcontractors, and the solution must be compatible with Secret-level security requirements. Participation in this market research does not guarantee future contract opportunities, and respondents bear all costs associated with their submission. The solicitation, identified as RMCD ROAR 2 with number FA8525-26-RMCDROAR2, was posted on May 11, 2026, with responses due by May 26, 2026, and is managed by the Department of Defense through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Robins AFB, Georgia, with performance expected in Marietta, Georgia. Point of contact for inquiries is Maria George, with Myoshe Johnson as secondary contact.

Full Description
C-5M Replacement Multi-Functional Controls and Displays (RMCD) Program
Request for Information
The Government is conducting market research to identify possible sources that have the knowledge and experience to deliver a hardware and software system solution to perform all the functions of the legacy Multi-Function Display Units (MFDUs) classified as the C-5M Replacement Multi-Functional Controls and Displays (RMCD) program. This new solution will resolve known diminishing manufacturing source issues with this Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), avoid projected aircraft Mission Incapable for Parts-based grounding issues, and improve overall aircraft availability metrics. This effort would require up to a Secret security clearance.
The Contractor shall ensure that their solution conforms to applicable military and aviation standards to ultimately gain military airworthiness certification upon integration onto the aircraft. The Contractor shall prioritize the use of the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA).
The Contractor shall provide sufficient system quantities to support integration activity at both Contractor and Government Systems Integration Laboratories (SIL) as well as to support follow-on prototype installations and subsequent ground and flight testing.
The Contractor shall provide a product baseline to include documentation describing all of the physical characteristics of their C-5M RMCD design and configuration items and the physical characteristics designated for pre-production acceptance testing, as well as product support documentation necessary for installation, test, operation, support, training, and disposal of the configuration items. The EMD-approved product baseline includes “build-to” specifications for hardware (e.g., product, process, material specifications, engineering drawings, and other related data) and software. It is noted that the software development will proceed according to an agile at scale framework (e.g. SAFe) whose incremental approach does not follow the traditional waterfall milestone progression.
The Contractor shall furnish all material, support equipment, tools, test equipment, and services. The Contractor is responsible for providing, maintaining, and calibrating all support equipment required at their facility or a subcontractor’s facility. Contractor-furnished material or parts used for replacement shall equal or exceed the quality of the original material or parts.
Contractors/Institutions responding to this market research are placed on notice that participation in this survey may not ensure participation in future solicitations or contract awards. The Government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in this survey.
