Repair of the C-130 Transformer Rectifier

The Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research to identify potential sources for repairing the C-130 Transformer Rectifier, specifically Part Number DSH1079-1 (NSN 6120-01-452-1359). The 422nd Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base seeks repair capabilities that encompass complete supply chain management, logistics, parts forecasting, and delivery of repaired assets. Interested vendors must complete a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package demonstrating repair competency through extensive documentation including technical data rights certification, quality assurance documentation, item technical specifications, quality history, process/operations sheets, and inspection method sheets. Certification requirements include compliance with standards such as AS9100, ISO 9001:2008, and specific NADCAP approvals for significant industrial processes. The government will not provide technical data, requiring vendors to independently acquire necessary technical documentation. All responses must be submitted electronically through DoD SAFE by October 9, 2025.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to 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. The procurement involves repair of multiple quantities across a basic requirement and four options, with each segment requiring 28 units (Basic - 28 EA, and Options 1-4 each requiring 28 EA). No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the documentation, and no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage. The government emphasizes this is market research to determine acquisition strategy, with no existing solicitation or contractual commitment. Technical documentation can be requested through established Air Force processes, including a fee structure of $30 per line of data with a $150 minimum administrative fee, and technical orders available for $65 each plus shipping costs.
