Repair of the C-130 & E-3 Power Supply

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking sources for repair services of power supply components for C-130 and E-3 aircraft platforms, specifically NSN 6130-01-436-0627 (Part Number 154BS101-1). The requirement encompasses comprehensive repair services including labor, materials, supply chain management, logistics, parts forecasting, and delivery of completed assets across an estimated 41 units distributed among six different options. Potential contractors must complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package demonstrating their capability to repair critical safety and critical application items, with qualification requirements including quality assurance systems meeting AS9100 or ISO 9001:2008 standards and necessary certifications for industrial processes. The government currently does not possess associated technical data, requiring potential sources to independently acquire necessary technical documentation through established procedures. Responses to this sources sought notice are due by September 26, 2025, and must be submitted electronically through DoD SAFE.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations, though the government is actively seeking to identify if the requirement could support a small business set-aside by welcoming responses from various small business categories including Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation. The repair requirement involves an estimated total of 41 power supply units distributed across a basic requirement plus five additional options (OPT 1-6), though specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the sources sought materials. Technical data acquisition involves separate fee structures, including $65 per Technical Order and $30 per line of engineering drawing data with a $150 minimum fee. The procurement falls under NAICS code 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code J016 for Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment-Aircraft Components and Accessories.
