About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force intends to procure repair or replacement support for 30 electronic modules integral to the AN/ALQ-161A Electronic Countermeasures System, with a sources-sought response due August 6, 2026.
The 408th Supply Chain Management Squadron issued this notice following loss of repair support from the incumbent vendor, which has provided services since 2002. The modules were originally designed and produced in the early 1980s by OEMs; proprietary manufacturing data and intellectual property remain with the original designers. The former vendor historically maintained over 90% repair success rates by subcontracting hermetically sealed component repairs to OEMs and specialized suppliers. After 2019, external suppliers ceased offering repair services due to part obsolescence and discontinued support for aging technology, causing the vendor's repair success rate to decline to 48%, with many items declared Beyond Economical Repair. The vendor's inability to continue support stems from lack of manufacturing documentation and widespread unavailability of necessary components. When the service contract came up for renewal, the vendor declined to bid and indicated that a complete redesign using modern, available components may be the most viable long-term solution.
The notice identifies 30 NSN-identified electronic modules—including amplifiers, controllers, assemblies, and detectors—with projected annual quantities ranging from zero to approximately 9.48 units annually across fiscal years 2026 through 2030. No set-aside is anticipated.
