About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of manufacturing and repairing three critical C-5 aircraft electronic components: the Battery Control Electronics Module (NSN 6130-01-535-7275UC), the Edge Lighted Panel and Annunciator Dimmer Circuit Card Assembly (NSN 5998-01-599-8130UC), and the Single Board Computer Circuit Card Assembly (NSN 5998-01-666-0869UC). These components are essential to C-5 aircraft operations, with the Battery Control Electronics Module serving as part of the Emergency Power System and supporting battery charging and auxiliary power unit functions on C-5M models. The Edge Lighted Panel and Annunciator Dimmer converts 28VDC to 5VDC for aircraft instrumentation, while the Single Board Computer Circuit Card Assembly provides processing capabilities for communication, navigation, cursor control, and automated flight control systems. Interested contractors must submit a comprehensive Capability Survey by December 3, 2025, demonstrating expertise, repair capabilities, past experience, and organizational continuity and cybersecurity measures. The survey addresses NAICS Codes 335311 and 334418 for transformer and electronic assembly manufacturing, and respondents should direct inquiries to Erika Bell at 478-222-0300 or erika.bell.2@us.af.mil.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a market research initiative rather than an active solicitation, meaning participation does not guarantee future contract awards. Extant Aerospace currently serves as the sole source contractor for repair of these components, having acquired manufacturing and repair rights from GE Aviation through a 2016 novation agreement. The government does not possess the technical data necessary for organic repair and has determined that acquisition or reverse engineering would be economically unviable. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, nor are contract quantities or service timelines detailed at this stage. The government will not reimburse potential contractors for expenses incurred in completing the market research survey, and responses must be submitted electronically to Erika Bell and Caiveon Thomas by the December 3, 2025 deadline.

- C-5 Battery Control Electronics Module (6130-01-535-7275UC, P/N: 716110-2)
- C-5 Edge Lighted Panel and Annunciator Dimmer Circuit Card Assembly (5998-01-599-8130UC, P/N: 716163-2)
- C-5 Single Board Computer Circuit Card Assembly (5998-01-666-0869UC, P/N 4V10442-101A)
The National Stock Numbers (NSN) and Part Numbers (PN) are listed above:
The BCEM is an aircraft component that is part of the Emergency Power System (EPS) on all models of C-5 aircraft and provides means to charge the battery. In addition, it is used in conjunction with the auxiliary power unit (APU) system on C-5M model aircraft.
The Edge Lighted Panel and Annunciator Dimmer (ELPAD) Circuit Card Assembly primary function is to convert 28VDC (Volts Direct Current) to 5VDC (Vols Direct Current) for the C-5 Aircraft. The Circuit card is a crucial component in aircraft instrumentation.
The Single Board Computer CCA is common component to four (4) next higher assemblies. There is one (1) Single Board Computer CCA contained in the Communication/ Navigation Panel (CNP), Cursor Control Panel (CCP) and Cursor Control Device (CCD) next higher assemblies. Two (2) identical single board computer CCAs providing redundant processing capabilities are contained in the Automated Flight Control System (AFCS) Panel next higher assembly. The CCA consists of an ARINC 429 communications interface and a 32-bit processor. The ARINC 429 communications interface converts received serial data signals (RX1 and RX2) from the line receivers into data that is usable by the 32-bit processor. The 32-bit processor receives commands to control serial communications and to convert the received data into column and row addressing signals. The column and row addressing signals are used by the Integrated Panel A1 to provide the appropriate display or light an indicator. Switch position signals from Integrated Panel are converted into digital data by the 32-bit processor. The digital data is then transformed into serial data for transmission by the ARINC 429 communication interface CCA. The serial signal (TX1) from the ARINC communication interface is applied through the line driver on the Interface CCAs to the aircraft.
NAICS Code 335311 (BCEM) - Power, Distribution and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing
NAICS Code 334418 - Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing
