Request for Information - F-15 Depot Activation Capabilities

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Wright Patterson Air Force Base is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources for F-15EX Depot Activation capabilities. The RFI seeks industry input on developing a Long-Term Support Strategy to improve supply chain efficiencies, material availability, and supplier base for multiple line replaceable units (LRUs) and their subcomponents related to the F-15EX multi-role weapon system. Companies are invited to submit an unclassified white paper addressing four key questions: organic repair component capabilities, technical data/intellectual property rights resolution, cost and performance considerations, and potential contracting approaches. The evaluation will focus on companies' technical capabilities, business size, socioeconomic classifications, and expertise in hardware and software development for depot activation. Interested firms must submit their statement of intent within 14 calendar days and the full white paper within 30 working days after the March 26, 2025 posting date, with potential invitations to an Industry Day event for qualified respondents.

The opportunity is classified under NAICS category 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of 1510 for Fixed Wing Aircraft. There are no specific set-aside designations for this RFI, and the solicitation is open to qualifying companies. The RFI explicitly notes that foreign participation is not authorized, and export control regulations will apply to the potential procurement. While specific award values are not detailed in the document, the scope suggests a comprehensive depot activation and support strategy for the F-15EX program, which is intended to replace existing F-15C/D aircraft and augment the F-15E fleet. Respondents should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in aircraft system support, with the potential for future contract opportunities based on their submitted capabilities and responses.
