About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research to identify potential contractors capable of repairing the APS-133 Radar Modulator (National Stock Number 5841-01-270-0322, Part Number 2036561-0502) used in weather radar systems. The government seeks sources with demonstrated repair expertise, capabilities, and access to necessary technical data to support this airborne radar equipment. Key requirements include the ability to furnish all materials, support equipment, tools, and test equipment; maintain and calibrate all required equipment at the contractor's or subcontractor's facility; and ensure that replacement parts equal or exceed the quality of original components. The government has not specified formal evaluation criteria in this Request for Information, as this is a market research phase rather than a formal solicitation. The response deadline for interested contractors is February 14, 2026, and participation in this market research survey does not guarantee participation in future solicitations or contract awards.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and is available to all qualified contractors. Ontic has been identified as the current known sole source contractor and manufacturer of the APS-133 Radar Modulator. The government has not disclosed an estimated award value or budget range for future repair contracts. The modulator is not currently repaired organically by the government, and technical data required for organic or competitive repair is not owned by the Air Force and would be uneconomical to acquire through purchase or reverse engineering. Interested contractors should note that the government will not reimburse expenses associated with participation in this market research survey, and no physical samples are available for evaluation by potential suppliers.
