Benchtop Reconfigurable Automatic Tester (BRAT)

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify potential sources for repair and calibration support of modules used in the Benchtop Reconfigurable Automatic Tester (BRAT). The procurement involves comprehensive repair services including failure analysis, verification and troubleshooting, calibration, integration testing, and returning testers to service according to technical specifications. Contractors must possess the repair data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements, with responsibility for furnishing all materials, support equipment, tools, test equipment, and services. The government has established key performance objectives including an 85% on-time delivery requirement for requisitions and maintaining product quality deficiency reports below 5% of delivered assets. Potential sources must submit a three-page capability survey addressing technical abilities, repair experience, quality assurance processes, and commerciality questions by 12 pm EST on August 1, 2025, following the original RFI deadline of April 10, 2025.

This opportunity has no set-aside designation and is open to both large and small businesses under the commercial item acquisition framework. Advanced Testing Technologies Inc. (ATTI) is identified as the original equipment manufacturer with proprietary rights to the technical data, making them a potential key player in any future solicitation. The contract scope involves repairing and calibrating up to 50 modules per year across 81 testers with eight different configurations, covering analog, digital, and radio frequency testing capabilities. The projected performance period is 24 months, with extended repair times specified for complex components ranging from 60 to 90 days for specific items. The government will provide government-furnished property including test equipment and materials, which contractors must track, maintain, and return in serviceable condition. Participation in this market research does not guarantee future solicitation participation or contract awards, and the government will not reimburse participants for survey-related expenses.
