Repair of C130 Power Supply

The U.S. Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center, specifically the Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research to identify potential sources for repair services of C-130 power supply units. The requirement involves repair, test, preservation, packaging, and return of three power supply units identified by NSNs 6130-01-598-1193, 6130-01-328-4653, and 6130-01-497-5713, with contractors responsible for providing all labor, materials, facilities, equipment, supply chain management, logistics, and asset delivery. Potential sources must complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package meeting the qualification requirements outlined in the Repair/Remanufacture Qualification Requirement (RQR-848), which establishes minimum technical standards for critical safety items and critical application items. Submissions should be categorized as Category I (actual item with prior delivery history within three to seven years), Category II (similar items with comparable complexity), or Category III (new repair capability with appropriate technical data rights). Interested vendors must submit their SAR packages and business information to 422scms.rfi.responses@us.af.mil by the April 21, 2026 deadline; this is a market research effort with no funds available and no contract award resulting from this notice.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and welcomes responses from all business types including small businesses, 8(a) firms, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, HUBZone businesses, and women-owned small businesses under NAICS code 336413 with a 1,250-employee size standard. The estimated repair requirement includes one basic ordering period with up to eight optional ordering periods for each of the three part numbers, with approximately 3 estimated actions for the first two parts and 4 estimated actions for the third part. No incumbent contractors are identified in this sources sought synopsis, and no specific award value or budget range is provided at this pre-solicitation stage. The government is not providing technical data and expects potential sources to independently acquire necessary documentation; interested parties may request Technical Orders from the Air Force Public Sales Office at a cost of $65.00 per approved order plus applicable media fees. The place of performance is Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.
