The Government is seeking information from potential sources capable of providing repair, manufacturing, sustaining engineering, software support, program management, and related services for the AN/GSM-397 Electronic Systems Test Set and its associated components used with the F-15 aircraft. Currently, these services are delivered under a sole source contract managed through the Defense Logistics Agency Captains of Industry contract vehicle, with the existing subsumable contract set to expire in September 2028. While the Government holds Design Authority and Document Change Authority, it does not possess the proprietary technical data or software needed to independently carry out these efforts. This sources-sought notice requests information on commercial and non-commercial approaches, including Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS), modified COTS, Nondevelopmental Items (NDI), or commercial services that could support this requirement. Respondents are encouraged to provide comprehensive proposals encompassing all necessary materials, support equipment, tooling, software, test equipment, engineering support, and services. The Government clarifies that no contract will be awarded or paid based solely on the information submitted in response to this request. Interested parties should review the detailed sustainment support attachment and submit questions or responses by the specified deadline to the designated points of contact at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia.

70--INTERFACE UNIT,DATA, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OFThis procurement involves the acquisition of 13 units of a specific interface data unit classified under NSN 0R-7025-017061785-H1, with delivery terms FOB origin. The current design of the part is unstable and fails to meet required engineering and performance objectives, leading to anticipated major design changes that will obsolete the current configuration. Because the part is flight critical and the technical data is insufficient for open competition, the government requires source approval prior to contract award. Only previously approved sources have been solicited, and any potential offerors who are not approved must submit detailed technical data as outlined in NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Information Brochures to be considered. Approval processes are time-sensitive, and lack of timely approval may result in awards continuing with existing suppliers to meet urgent fleet needs. This contract action is planned under limited competition authority, specifically FAR 6.302-1, with the government inviting responsible parties to express interest or submit proposals within 45 days, or 30 days if issued under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement. The solicitation excludes acquisition under FAR Part 12 for commercial items but recognizes the applicability of Free Trade Agreements and related trade compliance clauses. Award depends on meeting all qualification requirements at the time of award. The contracting office is NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support based in Philadelphia, PA, with point of contact provided for further information. Military specification documents and related standards are accessible through designated government online portals and support offices for bidders’ reference.

AN/AP-68V9 Radar DMSMS Study - Phase II ResolutionThe Department of Defense, through the F-16 System Program Office at Hill Air Force Base, is conducting market research via a sources sought synopsis to identify capable small business sources for Phase II of the AN/APG-68(V)9 Radar Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) program. This phase focuses on resolving obsolescence issues identified in a prior study on critical Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs) within the radar's Modular Receiver/Exciter and Common Radar Processor assemblies. The objective is to replace obsolete components while maintaining form, fit, and function compatibility to ensure future manufacturability and reparability. The effort will proceed as a task order under an existing post-production sustainment contract with Northrop Grumman Corporation, the original equipment manufacturer holding proprietary technical data needed for this work. Interested vendors, particularly small businesses including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned categories, are invited to respond with their capability statements, experience with DMSMS efforts, understanding of related cybersecurity requirements, relationships with Northrop Grumman or Lockheed Martin, and potential teaming arrangements. Key requirements include project management, engineering redesign, prototype fabrication of two engineering development units for each of nine SRUs, and functional testing with qualification plans. Deliverables encompass prototype hardware retained at the contractor site, several engineered data documents, and a proposal to support the subsequent production phase. Responses are voluntary and intended solely for acquisition planning, with submissions due by the end of June 2026.
