C130-E3 Power Supply

The Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research to identify potential contractors capable of repairing Power Supply units (Part Number 154BS101-1, NSN 6130-01-436-0627) used on C-130 and E-3 aircraft platforms. Interested contractors must provide all required labor, materials, facilities, and equipment, and assume responsibility for supply chain management, logistics, parts forecasting, long-lead parts procurement, reparable forecasting, obsolescence management, and asset delivery. The place of performance is Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. Contractors must complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package in accordance with Repair/Remanufacture Qualification Requirement (RQR-848) and demonstrate compliance with FAR 9.200 standards and operational safety, suitability, and effectiveness requirements per AFMCI 23-113. The government is interested in all business types, including small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, 8(a) businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone businesses, and women-owned small businesses. Responses to this market research must be submitted electronically through DoD SAFE to 422scms.rfi.responses@us.af.mil by May 8, 2026. The government does not currently have technical data available, and potential sources must independently acquire necessary technical data or submit requests to the Public Sales Office at a cost of $65.00 per Technical Order plus per-page and media fees.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation. The estimated repair requirement consists of a basic contract for 41 units plus six option periods of 41 units each, for a total potential quantity of 287 units across the contract period. No specific incumbent contractor or award value information is provided in this pre-solicitation notice. The applicable Product Service Code is J016 (repair/overhaul) and the NAICS Code is 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. This is a market research phase designed to identify capable sources before formal solicitation, and interested contractors should note that the SAR package submission process requires demonstrating either actual item repair experience within specified timeframes, similar item repair capabilities, or data rights to original equipment manufacturer or ESA-approved technical data.
