Remanufacture of B-1B Electro-Mechanical Actuator.

The United States Air Force through the Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) at Tinker Air Force Base is seeking to procure the remanufacture of B-1B Electro-Mechanical Actuators (NSN 1680-01-289-2958, Part Number Y56A) that position the rudder in flight to trim the aircraft's yaw. This is a firm fixed price, full and open competition solicitation with no set-aside designations. Key contract requirements include disassembly, cleaning, inspection, maintenance, re-assembly, testing, and finishing to return actuators to like-new condition, with mandatory replacement of consumable parts including sensitive switches, seals, retaining rings, and bearings. Contractors must conduct an Initial Production Evaluation within 60 calendar days of the first delivery order, maintain robust quality control systems, and implement comprehensive Supply Chain Risk Management protocols including Continuity of Operations planning and cybersecurity protections. Engineering source approval is mandatory to maintain part quality. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on December 8, 2025, with a deadline for questions by December 29, 2025, and the government intends to issue the full RFP on or about December 31, 2025. Interested parties can submit questions to jessica.vinyard.1@us.af.mil and matthew.churchwell.2@us.af.mil, with an Ombudsman available at 405-736-3273.

This procurement is structured as a 5-year requirements-type contract with a 3-year basic period and one 2-year option period, with no current incumbent identified in the pre-solicitation materials. The contract will require 36 actuators per year during the basic period and 24 actuators per year during the option period, for a total of 180 actuators across both periods. The actuators measure 18.34 inches in length, 2.00 inches in width, and 2.51 inches in height, weighing 15.70 pounds each and constructed of aluminum alloy, metal, steel, and electrical components. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the large volume requirement and multi-year contract structure suggest significant contract value. The procurement is classified under NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC 1680 (Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components).
