Request for Information - F-15 Reference Stand-By Display (RSD) Depot Activation Capabilities

The Air Force Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Wright Patterson Air Force Base seeks industry input through this Request for Information (RFI) regarding F-15 Reference Stand-By Display (RSD) depot activation capabilities. The procurement focuses on establishing organic maintenance capabilities at Air Logistics Complex (ALC) for the F-15EX aircraft program, including design, development, and procurement of Specialized Test Equipment (STE), Test Program Sets (TPS), and Interface Test Adapters (ITAs). Key requirements include identifying all necessary technical requirements, negotiating Partnering Agreements and Implementation Agreements with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and the Government, developing transition plans from contractor support to Government organic support, and providing comprehensive training to USAF Maintenance Technicians within 30 days of final acceptance. The Government is particularly interested in industry solutions addressing technical data and intellectual property rights, cost-effective approaches to organic repair, schedule and performance for depot activation components, and efficient contracting methodologies. Respondents must submit unclassified White Papers by February 27, 2026 (14 calendar days after posting), and interested parties must communicate intent to submit to Laura Harr (laura.harr@us.af.mil) within the same timeframe.

This RFI is not a formal solicitation and does not obligate the Government to issue a contract; it is intended solely for market research and acquisition planning purposes. No set-aside designation has been applied to this opportunity. The specific award value and budget range have not been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. Respondents must provide company information, qualifications, corporate overview, and supporting documentation, and all submissions must comply with Export Control regulations (ITAR/EAR) with a Certified DD Form 2345 required. Foreign participation is not authorized, though foreign nationals may be employed if limited to public domain information work. Contractors deemed capable through this RFI process may be invited to participate in a future Industry Day event, which could provide additional insight into Government requirements and evaluation considerations for subsequent formal solicitation.
