About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking a 5-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the repair of an Electron Tube (NSN 5960-00-078-0684, Part Number VA-145E). The contract will require contractors to perform comprehensive repair services ranging from test, teardown, and evaluation (TT&E) to total rebuild, with four potential repair levels. Contractors must demonstrate the ability to conduct visual, mechanical, and electrical testing, and restore items to serviceable condition according to technical specifications. Qualification requirements include notifying the government Small Business Office, certifying necessary facilities and equipment, and submitting a qualification test plan for approval by 415 SCMS/GUEA. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on December 17, 2024, with responses due by January 3, 2025, and the estimated qualification cost is approximately $6,000.

The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category and falls under NAICS category 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. The contract will use firm-fixed pricing for repair levels, which include minor repair (without total disassembly), major repair (involving extensive mechanical work), and total rebuild. The government will evaluate repair candidates based on their ability to meet electrical specifications, technical order test procedures, and mechanical dimensions. While specific award values are not detailed, the 5-year IDIQ structure suggests potential for multiple repair orders. Contractors must be prepared to handle repair complexity ranging from external adjustments to complete tube reconstitution, with the potential requirement to replace vacuum envelopes and tube bodies as needed.

Notice text

1. SCOPE OF WORK: For the end item the contractor shall furnish all facilities, parts, materials,
equipment and services, required to inspect and, if necessary, restore to serviceable condition.
Services to be performed will not be essential in a crisis situation. Work consists of one of four
efforts: Test, teardown, and evaluation (TT&E) only; TT&E and Minor Repair; TT&E and Major
Repair; TT&E and Total Rebuild.


1.1 TEST, TEARDOWN, AND EVALUATION: The contractor shall perform visual,
mechanical and electrical testing of the end item, reusable or replacement component parts,
and materials according to the schedule in the contract to determine the condition of the end
item. Upon completion of this task, all of the components of the end item requiring repair or
replacement will be identified by part number, NSN (if applicable), nomenclature, and
location in the assembly. This information will be reported in writing to the Procurement
Contracting Officer (PCO)/ Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Administrative
Contracting Officer (ACO) and, if necessary, a category of repair will be negotiated. The
price of repair for the end item will be firm-fixed based on this negotiated repair level. If no
further repair is required, the asset must be returned in serviceable like new condition.


1.2 MINOR REPAIR: (FFP) Minor repair is a repair that does not require total disassembly of
the end item or replacement of major subcomponents. A minor repair candidate typically
requires external adjustments or rework in order to meet all of the electrical specifications in
accordance with the Technical Order Test Procedure and mechanical dimensions in
accordance with the outline drawing. It would include repair or replacement of damaged or
missing minor external parts as required. Test each end item IAW the specifications for
P/N’s as listed in the contract schedule. If minor repair is initiated and it is found that, in
order to return the end item to serviceable condition that the level of repair must increase to a
major repair, the DCMA Government representative (ACO/PCO or QAR) will be notified
and give the notice to proceed to the major repair category.


1.3 MAJOR REPAIR: (FFP) Defined as an end item that is beyond the minor repair category
to the extent that the end item is to be disassembled or reconstituted. This could be due to
extensive mechanical damage, extensive disassembly to access or replace subcomponents
and/or replacement of major subcomponents. As with minor repair, the end item will be
tested IAW the specifications and Technical Order test procedures to verify correct Form,
Fit, Function and Interface of the P/N’s listed in the contract schedule.


1.4 TOTAL REBUILD: (FFP) Defined as a tube that is beyond the moderate repair category to
the extent that the tube is to be totally rebuilt or reconstituted. A major rebuild is also
required if the vacuum seal fails while attempting a moderate repair. Rebuilds include the
scope of a moderate repair, replacement of the vacuum envelope, and repair or replacement
of the tube body.

Below listed item(s) will be shipped to contractor to repair:
