About this file
This is a Sources Sought notice from the Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) seeking interested manufacturers for the C-5 Manual Trim Valve (NSN: 1650-01-449-8306UC, P/N: 200913892-10). The requirement is for a Shop Replaceable Unit on the C-5M Galaxy Nut Drive Manifold - an eight port, three position, spring centered, directional control valve that controls the manual actuation of the C-5 Pitch Trim Actuator.
Currently, Thomas Instruments (CAGE: 5H860) is the only qualified source as they produce the end-item Nut Drive Manifold. While the government owns all technical data, any new vendors must complete source qualification through the C-5 System Program Office at Robins AFB. Interested parties must respond by February 28, 2025 to the listed program manager, engineer, contracting officer, and contract specialist. The AFSC intends to compete this as Full and Open Competition for qualified sources under purchase request FD20602500354.

SUBJECT:
Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of the C-5 Manual Trim Valve listed above. Purchase request number is
FD20602500354.
ITEM DESCRIPTION
The Manual Trim Valve is a Shop Replaceable Unit (SRU) on the C-5M Galaxy Nut Drive Manifold. This is an eight port, three position, spring centered, directional control valve. The valve is shifted by operation of the manual lever, which controls the manual actuation of the C-5 Pitch Trim Actuator by the flight crew.
Impediment to Competition:
The Government owns the data, drawings, schematics, and all other releasable technical data in support of this requirement.
The AMC/AMSC code for the Manual Trim Valve is 2/C. The critical application of this item requires pre-qualification of any prospective supplier by the Cognizant Government Engineering Activity, C-5 System Program Office, AFLCMC/WLSE, Robins AFB, Georgia. Pre-qualification will be necessary for sources other than those already approved.
Currently only one vendor, Thomas Instruments (5H860), is source qualified, as they also produce and manufacture the end-item Nut Drive Manifold. As a result, any vendor who wishes to compete for this requirement must go through source qualification process.
INTEREST
The U.S. Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) Contracting Office intends to compete this requirement as Full and Open Competition, to sources qualified. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 28 FEB 2025 by emailing Program Manager: Trent Miller at trent.miller.4@us.af.mil, Engineer: Andrew Hyatt at andrew.hyatt.9@us.af.mil.
