2. BACKGROUND

The USG previously provisioned two similar testers for this fleet. One has since been damaged beyond repair, and the other is outdated and requires replacement. This acquisition seeks to find the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or other sources that hold the license or rights to produce this product.

The core objective is to modernize the test stand to reduce repair and test times for the MLG door actuators, thereby addressing long wait times and a single point of failure for testing. This will establish a sustainable, multi-test capability for the remainder of the weapon system's life.
