About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center is seeking Polyalphaolefin (PAO) Liquid Coolant Carts to support ground maintenance operations for F-22 aircraft through this Request for Information (RFI). The procurement targets commercially available or near-production-ready systems that must meet mandatory functional requirements including an 80-gallon reservoir, 5-micron filtration, de-aeration capability, cooling capacity of 0-50 kW, and variable flow up to 28 GPM at 150 PSI. Solutions must be trailer-mounted with AS8090 mobility qualification, operate in ambient temperatures from 0°F to 125°F, achieve MIL-STD-810G certification, provide minimum 8-hour runtime at full load, and include dual-power capability (440-480V/60Hz or 380V/50Hz). The unit must comply with EMI standards (MIL-STD-461E), ATEX Zone 2, and NFPA 70 NEC Class I Division 2 requirements, and feature PLC control with color touch-screen interface. Responses are due by March 11, 2026 at 4:00 PM MST and should be submitted electronically to james.recker@us.af.mil, with submissions requiring company information, CAGE code, detailed technical specifications, compliance matrices, manufacturing capabilities with lead times, and clarification on whether the solution is commercial-off-the-shelf, modified COTS, or new design.
This pre-solicitation carries no set-aside designations. The government anticipates procuring 15 coolant carts if this requirement becomes a funded solicitation, though specific award values or budget ranges have not been disclosed in the RFI documentation. The TLD Group Model LCU-050 is referenced as an example solution to guide potential vendors on acceptable design parameters. No current incumbents or contractors are identified in the documentation. The RFI represents an early-stage procurement opportunity with the Q&A sheet dated February 11, 2026, providing preliminary information to potential vendors regarding anticipated quantity expectations and procurement intent.
