The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Robins Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify sources capable of performing First Article Testing for the Advanced Technology Anti-Gravity Suit (ATAGS) Material Obsolescence Effort, with responses due by close of business July 17, 2026. Vinyl Technology LLC has been designated the only USAF engineering source-approved manufacturer under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source), though the RFI seeks to identify alternative pre-qualified sources meeting DoDM 4120.24 (SD-6) Defense Standardization Program and MSF880/5-ATP-GEN-0 REV B specifications.

Respondents must possess facility capabilities, past performance on critical flight safety equipment, ISO 9001 or equivalent quality assurance processes, technical data generation capabilities, test and repair procedures, and familiarity with Joint Deficiency Reporting System (JDRS). Contractors furnish all materials, support equipment, tools, test equipment, and services, including maintenance and calibration. This is a one-time buy in fiscal year 2026 under NAICS codes 315210 and 315990. Security clearance levels and foreign participation requirements have not been determined. No set-aside decision has been made; large and small businesses, joint ventures, and teaming arrangements are encouraged. Participation does not guarantee future solicitation inclusion.
